Rileys
433 Kings Road, Chelsea SW10 0LR
CLOSED: possibly for works referenced in planning permission granted July 2018: "Replacement of shopfront; removal of single-storey toilet block on Ann Lane's elevation to form seasonal retractable cover with canvas roof and sides to courtyard seating area; replacement of A/C condenser units on roof behind parapet wall; replacement of kitchen ducting at rear with new flue and ducting up side/rear elevation to extract above parapet level" It was first licensed in 1858 as the Riley Arms, and in 1877 had the address 411 Kings Road, and still by 1921; this was at the corner of Riley Street, hence the name. It was rebuilt in 1952 as part of a general regeneration of the area, possibly not on exactly the same site, and from that time at least it has had the address 433 Kings Road. In 1986 the pub's name was abbreviated to Riley's.
Bumpkin
119 Sydney Street, Chelsea SW3 6NR
One of a small chain of restaurants. If you wish to have a drink, you must eat. The (keg) bitter and lager are from Shepherd Neame.
Beaufort House
354 Kings Road, Chelsea SW3 5UZ
Originally the ROEBUCK, it was the subject of one of CAMRA's early (ineffective) attempts to prevent ruination on conversion to a café-bar by Courage in 1984. Despite planning conditions, the damage was done. Became Beaufort House c.2005 soon losing the draught beer and now a cocktail bar and restaurant.
Chelsea Arts Club
143-145 Old Church Street, Chelsea SW3 6EB
Founded in 1891 at the instigation of the artist Whistler, as a rival to the older Arts Club. The club when formed was intentionally bohemian in character and remains true to its roots. There is no dress code. It promotes social intercourse amongst its members and helps promote their artistic work. The Chelsea Arts Club ball was a famous fixture at the Albert Hall in the first half of the twentieth century, eventually banned due to riotous behaviour; footage of some of the balls may be seen on old British Pathe newsreels. Nowadays the Club serves as a host for various events including of course visual arts exhibitions as well as musical performances including live jazz, and literary talks. The clubhouse is normally white but may be painted for special events, see example in this entry; it includes a dining room, bar, snooker room and some bedrooms. The rooms are lined with art by members past and present. Club membership is between three and four thousand drawn mainly from the creative and artistic worlds; there is a waiting list for new members. If you are lucky enough to be invited in, food is stated to be moderately priced. Confirmed by a member as offering real ale.
Chelsea Pensioners' Club
Royal Hospital Road, Chelsea SW3 4SR
There are three large, comfortable rooms and a "clubby" atmosphere. Regimental plaques and military paintings adorn the walls and there is even a proper pub sign! Although parts of the Royal Hospital (in which the Club stands) are open to the public - and a visit to this Wren-designed complex is recommended - the Club is open only to Chelsea Pensioners and their guests; CPs get discounted prices. Note the unusual (unique?) double-slotted pillar box at the London Gate.
