In Sydney Street, amid Chelsea’s fashionable King’s Road area, this unique collection of pretty chalet-style shops began in the 1980’s as the temporary use of a potential development site, but still flourishes in its original form, and has achieved enduring popularity with locals and visitors alike. There’s no stall trading but an attractive mix of quality fashion goods, a pet parlour, a garden centre, three al fresco restaurants and one of the country’s only wholly organic supermarkets. 100% occupancy has been maintained, and replacement units added on an ongoing basis.
