About this Event
Join experienced Chelsea walking tour guide Emily Lawerance Baker to explore the neighbourhood as it dresses for Christmas! Beginning beneath the lights of Sloane Square, we’ll make our way through Duke of York Square, pause by the Ever After Garden’s illuminated remembrance roses beside Saatchi Gallery, and follow the Christmas lights along King’s Road.
Taking the passage beside Burton Court down to Royal Hospital Road, we’ll discover the Royal Hospital Chelsea, founded by Charles II in 1682 and home to the Chelsea Pensioners. We’ll stop outside the National Army Museum before finishing at Chelsea Physic Garden, founded in 1673 and one of London’s oldest botanic gardens.
Along the way, hear stories of Christmas traditions, winters past and the people who shaped Chelsea, with a little of the neighbourhood’s glamour along the route. Bring a friend or come along to meet fellow history enthusiasts on our last walk before tours return in late January.
This is an outdoor walking tour, with the heritage institutions explored from outside.
