If you happen to be in Chelsea this evening why not peruse through our recommended list of Chelsea bars? An area of West London renowned for its celebrity chic, fashionable retail outlets and overpaid football team, Chelsea has an abundance of hip bars that, if you care about image, you should be seen in. If you don't care about image, then we've listed some Chelsea bars that are just good for a pint too.
Apartment 195A picture of decadence on the Kings Road, Apartment 195 is a charming wine and cocktail bar with sumptuous Victorian interiors. A separate private room is available with flat screen televisions to watch sport, music videos or Apartment 195's trippy graphics.
Art BarOne of Chelsea's funky options with stylish, modern decor and aristic installations. A private members bar and club is also planned, so watch this space.
The BeauchampThis is perhaps not as upmarket as you would expect given its sought-after address, which makes it all the more attractive. The Beauchamp is a friendly, warm and reliable establishment. Comfy sofas too.
The Cadogan ArmsIf Cactus Blue is just too overbearing, there's always the reliable and traditional Cadogan Arms. After all, there are times when all we want is a comfy chair and friendly faces rather than cocktails with strange names and video art on the walls.
