Local Area
Welcome to Chelsea: Following a £200 million development, the area is enjoying something of a renaissance. Chelsea is now home to the Saatchi Gallery, which has transformed the Duke of York's Headquarters, into a state-of-the-art gallery. In addition, the district's leafy streets are lined with shops and boutiques that boast the top names in retail, such as Tiffany, Bulgari and Lulu Guinness, offering unrivalled shopping opportunities. Restaurants and cafés are aplenty and cater for every taste ranging from gourmet dinners to quirky coffee shops. The area is also renowned as being a centre for the Arts and the Cadogan Concert Hall and the Royal Court Theatre together ensure that those seeking an exciting music and drama programme will not be disappointed. The UK's most famous museums are just a short walk away in Kensington and luxury boutique hotels offer special rates at the time of the BADA Fair (see under Hotels for more details).

For one week of the year, the grounds of the Duke of York's Headquarters are home to the BADA Antiques & Fine Art Fair.
