Totally delightful. An oasis of calm in the bustling fashionable borough of Chelsea. A real education, too. More

This garden is lovely and well worth a wander around. The cafe has a great selection of wholesome foods although it's quite expensive. In the summer it gets quite busy. The grounds are well kept and the narrative of information is very useful throughout the garden. More

Their food is delicious but their service is terrible. Its all very well to make the food as homespun as possible but to make their service as amateur is a pity. Very poor organisation makes getting your food a challenge and a hassle. Perhaps the catering and the garden have become a victim of its own success. More

Some people rave about this place and I can kind of see why if you're interested in plants this must be amazing. For me it was very interesting and in autumn it was very beautiful More

This is such a calm and peaceful place. Well worth a visit and important to take the free guided tour. We also had lunch, two mixed salads £8.50 each. They were five star but let down by the poor coffee. More

Easy to find. Took advantage of the two for one offer available through National Rail so at £8 for the two of us it was good value. Had a delightful tea and cake to start the day a little expensive but that’s Chelsea. The guided tour was just over an hour long and very informative. Her in door’s is a... More

Beautiful old Botanic Garden. We took the free tour which was fun and although the guide was a bit flaky she was trying. The Cafe serves good food but it is expensive (this is Chelsea so I guess the locals will pay) . The only thing I would say is that prev comments re locals and their day out is... More
