Saturdays at Duke of York Square Market

A food market, the Saatchi Gallery and some of Chelsea’s best shopping, all within a few steps of one another.

the day

One square, and plenty of ways to spend the afternoon.

Start with the market and let the rest of the day unfold around it. Browse the stalls, find a table in the square, then wander through the surrounding shops and galleries. It is an easy combination of food, art and shopping, all close enough to move between without rushing.

The market

A Saturday market on Chelsea's doorstep.

Every Saturday, Duke of York Square fills with independent food stalls, from freshly baked pastries to dishes made for eating outdoors. The setting gives the market a distinctly Chelsea feel, while the atmosphere remains relaxed — lunch at a table, something sweet for later, and another lap around the stalls before leaving.

The shopping

Chelsea shopping, from fashion to interiors.

The square sits among some of the neighbourhood's best-known boutiques, with fashion, design and interiors all within a short walk. Soho Home's flagship is an easy addition for anyone interested in interiors, whether you're looking for something specific or simply want to browse.

The pairing

Lunch here, the Saatchi afterwards.

The Saatchi Gallery is just across the square, making the two a natural pairing. Start with something from the market, spend some time in the galleries, then return to Chelsea for the rest of the afternoon. Food first, art afterwards, simple, and very easy to get right.
