The Garden is nestled behind walls and positioned close to the River Thames in Chelsea. The Thames location is no accident as back in 1673 the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries chose their Chelsea village site for its proximity to the river to make the most of its warm air currents. It also gave them a base to moor their barge, allowing them to conduct plant finding expeditions in surrounding areas and to teach their apprentices to identify plants.

Even if you have seen it hundreds of times it will still stop you in your tracks. A great piece of architecture and apparently the largest brick structure in Europe.

There are very few better places to be on a summer's day than the massive beer garden at People’s Park Tavern on Victoria Park

Fantastic selection of magazines ! 

A beautiful old school bookshop, floor to ceiling photo books. Heaven.
