The Chelsea Gate

You'll find The Chelsea Gate tucked away on Fulham Road, in that part of Chelsea where things still feel slightly lived-in rather than just expensive. Push through the door and you're stepping into proper pub territory: the kind of place where the regulars have their spots at the bar and the barkeep knows what they're drinking before they order. It's got that comfortable, slightly worn-around-the-edges charm that's increasingly rare round here. The beer selection is solid, the chat is easy, and nobody's trying to Instagram their pint.
