Made in Chelsea

Love it or hate it, the Made In Chelsea TV series has rekindled the British love for Sloane Square, the Kings Road and Chelsea. 

Even the Jack Wills store on the Kings Road loves Made in Chelsea and their shop windows adorn Jamie Laing. 

As a Londoner I have always had a soft spot for Sloane Square. As a teenager I would while away a good few hours walking up and down the Kings Road checking out the vintage second-hand stores. One of my best purchases that I still own is an original 60's candy floss pink leather jacket. 

Sadly few vintage shops remain on the Kings Road but if you are in London make sure you check out:

• Frock Me - The original London vintage fashion fair. Next few events 6th April, 4th May and 8th June. 
• Deuxieme - A fantastic collection of pre-owned designer clothes. 

There is also a great Oxfam boutique with hidden designer gems. 

Anyway enough rambling onto the main purpose of this post. When I got the chance to do a Made In Chelsea tour of my favourite haunts, I just had to say yes. 

Chelsea for those of you who haven't watched the show or visited the area Chelsea is a very affluent area. 

The average flat costs £1.4 Million. Ouch I hear you cry. 

The tour lasted a few hours and gave us the opportunity to see the places that appear on the show and where the Chelsea cast can sometimes be spotted handing out. 

As a foodie I was pleased that our tour started in the wonderful Duke of York Square. The square houses Partridges...


A true Chelsea institution and has been grocers to the Queen since 1994. It is a foodie haven, if you visit you must check this place out. 

On a Saturday they house a food market with over 40 stalls sharing their wonderful food delights from bread, cheese, olives and fresh oysters. 

Nothing beats fresh oysters than with shallot vinegar and chili.

Our second stop was Phene Street. 

For those of you who watch the show you will know that The Phene is owned by Lucy Watson's Father. This place has seen many a heated argument between cast members but this month saw Lucy celebrate her 23rd Birthday with her ex Spencer Matthew's and Stevie Johnson at the very pub below. 

Next stop was BlueBird (restaurant, bar, cafe and shop) a socialites paradise and the very heart of the King's road. Many of the Made In Chelsea cast have been seen here. 

In an art deco garage The shop at Bluebird has amazing clothes by designers Marc Jacobs, Emma Cook, and Alexander Wang. 































Every shopping trip needs a pit stop to refuel and the cakes from the Bluebird cafe were amazingly Yummy. 

Our final and last stop on the tour was TheJamTree. 

                    

The outside garden here been used lots for alfresco filming on Made In Chelsea and the after show parties to celebrate the completion of filming are also held here. 

The inside of the pub has a wonderfully jazz interior. 

The toilet walls are even adorned with cassettes. 

Thank you to Debbie who was our tour guide, whilst we didn't meet any of the cast members on our tour we had great fun shopping. If you fancy checking out what would make your perfect tour check out the channel 4 website here.
