Reviews of Chelsea Physic Garden
E.I was hoping to visit the snowdrop trail as I visit every year, however this year it closed a little earlier in the year as the garden opened the dash of lavender trail. The garden always has some useful facts about history and social views of the times which I enjoy. The garden has been updated with some information around how virus's are tracked and treated, as well as the usual information on plants used in anaesthesia and medicine. You will find locals as well as visitors here, giving a nice mix of what London is.
When you visit the green house, ensure you go through the doors to the tropical plants area as people sometimes miss this thinking that they can't enter. I'd say if there is a door without something placed in front of it that is unlocked, you are permitted to enter. If staff are cleaning areas, they will occlude entry with a large plant or lock doors.
I tend to spend around 60-90 minutes around the garden, a little longer in Spring & Summer as there is more to see in the garden plants wise, however the flip side is that you get to enjoy the cafe a little more in Winter and see some of the wildlife hiding in the bushes and tress as it is less busy. Weekdays before lunchtime seem to always be a little less busy whatever the time of year, it's nice to sit with a hot coffee and enjoy some quiet time.
The staff are friendly and will share some insights about plants if you ask them. The cafe has a small menu, but the food is always tasty and caters to hot, cold and allergy status. In Summer I remember they had fantastic salads, in Winter they do soups, hotpot and shepherds pie - real British comfort food (not sure why there is rice with the hotpot, but I ate it nonetheless).
V. N.Spectacular, make sure you go in a good summer season. I was very impressed with the collection of plants and how well they've been maintained. Each one of those plants has an amazing story, both with their origins, location and utility.
It is a small place compared to larger parks in London. But the collection is beautiful.
- make sure you take the guided tour. They are free and give you a brilliant insight to the place. It helps you appreciate the collection and each one of those plants better. Without the guided tour, we'd have been bored easily.
- Food was very good, the soup of the day is highly recommended. Very tasty but the portion sizes we're very small
- Food is very expensive relative to the places around, but I guess the premium is because of the place
- Allocate an easy half day for this place to make the best of this experience
S. Z.Absolutely on of my favourite gardens! The guided tours are definitely recommended, as the really know there stuff! There is an endless amount of history and information about every single plant, so make sure you take you're time and don't rush. 🪴
The little cafe/restaurant they have is really sweet. Food is good, but on the pricier side.
Recommending popping in to the gift shop before you leave, maybe grab some local honey for your hay fever or a flower seed bundle to help our bees 🐝💚
K. M.Beautiful gardens with wonderful staff and volunteers. With superb knowledge of the different plants and history of the place.
Frequent volunteer run tours (which I missed out this time as I was so happily wandering around-but a definite for next time) really interesting areas dedicated to healing plants , fragrance etc. And beautiful glasshouses - a personal favourite. There’s also a cafe on site (another stop next time)
N. T.Beautiful garden in heart of city. I hope there were more greenhouses and I loved the tropical section. Also recommend to visit in late spring.
Y.I highly recommend visiting this little haven. It is peaceful and healing and perfect for time in nature while getting a chance to learn about many plants.
From the time I entered the reception area, I was greeted with a smile and by helpful members of staff. I visited for an Open Day on the 27th Jan and my expectations of the entire place was above average.
Each experience I had that day from my first greeting at front desk, to yummy bites in the garden cafe, to meeting the gardeners and asking question, to me wandering around the gorgeous garden and then lastly going on a guided tour, were all part of what made that open day one of my loveliest experiences in an English garden.
Even if I don’t get accepted to the traineeship programme, I will most definitely become a volunteer when spaces open up and will become a regular visitor of this space as it flourishes with great energy and an interesting history.
C. H.Wow! A true hidden gem in London and in a great part of London too.
So many types of plants all smooshed into one place with great Victoria architecture and surprises around each corner.
Can’t wait to go back!
There are also great late nights out on here too.
A. G.Lovely hidden little gem in the heart of Chelsea. Enjoy the peace and quiet of this delightful physicians garden where you can learn about all the medicinal and culinary herbs and plants. The cafe is great too
T. U.Catched up with my friends and their little ones and it was a great Sunday fun day to so. Specially when you have a baby and a 2 years old boy. It was fun to explore the different plants and how they all range in size and colour . Definitely a good place to visit with kids as they offer pond discovering and pot some seeds that you can take home. I wish there more details of the various plants you saw in the garden. Staff was friendly and helpful. I am truly blessed to find this tiiny gem.
H. D. S.Lovely place, lots and lots of different plants! Although I went for the guided tour, which was a lot of laughter and the kids throughly enjoyed. Will definitely visit again but maybe in summer!
