6. The Chelsea Pig

In a corner between Old Church Street and Paulson Street, The Chelsea Pig is a classic local choice. The name might give it away, but as Chelsea restaurants go, it's on the more laid back side.

‍

Its elegant dining room has an eccentric twist, with a unique decor designed by designer Timothy Oulton. Put simply, The Chelsea Pig is an upmarket British pub—not just any upmarket British pub, but one of the most historic and best-loved pubs in Chelsea. 

‍

Authentic and compelling, The Chelsea Pig showcases British pub grub at its finest—their Sunday roast is spoken about for miles around. Think Richard Curtis film set, add an exquisite cocktail menu, you get the picture.
