Birley Bakery

Inspired by the classic French boulangerie-pâtisserie, Birley Bakery is a haven of pastry perfection – and has fast become the talk of the town

Set on the charming Chelsea Green, a stone’s throw from the buzz of the King’s Road, you’ll find one of the most celebrated new openings on London’s gastronomic scene: Birley Bakery.

The first venture of its kind from Mayfair members’ club king, Robin Birley, its chic ochre awning and burgundy lacquered doors (a design feature all too familiar to 5 Hertford Street regulars) hint at the delights waiting within.

Amid the morning rush of Chelsea dog walkers – poodles as immaculately coiffed as their owners – Birley Bakery hums with life. Just weeks after its debut, it’s already become a go-to for culinary connoisseurs like Nigella Lawson, Lady Bamford, Pierre Koffmann, the Marchioness of Bath and Lady Dalmeny.
