‹ The story: The best dumplings in London are at a place called Phat Phuc
A day in Chelsea, London · England
A Saturday in Chelsea, built around feet first, then laksa
A Chelsea Saturday on foot: breakfast from the stalls at the Duke of York Square food market, the length of the King's Road, a foot massage when your legs give out, laksa on a bench, the river, a pint, and Italian at a place that has been doing it for decades.
The star is Phat Phuc, the place from the story. The dotted line is the walk, in order. All on foot, about 7 km. Start at Sloane Square station.

Phat Phuc
Get: The laksa (ask for no coriander if you're with me on that), and the chicken dumplings on the side.
We went for the foot massage. We stayed for the laksa a few doors down.
The Courtyard, 151 Sydney Street, Chelsea, London SW3. Small, and the wait gets long; take it away and grab a bench. Reflexions (The Reflexology Shop) is around the corner at 250 King's Road, walk-ins welcome.

5Albert Bridge
Down to the river at Albert Bridge
Do: Walk down to the Thames and across Albert Bridge into Battersea Park if you have legs left.
The prettiest bridge in London, especially as the light goes.
