I bought this little box of London City Walks a few weeks ago. If you live in London and want to explore the city more it's a real must-have (mine was £10 from Oliver Bonas but I'm sure you can buy it cheaper). There are 50 cards which each have a different walk and a commentary on what sights and places you can visit along the way. Whilst Chris and I are living in London we want to see as much as possible- for as cheap as possible, and yesterday we embarked on our first walk.
We chose the 2 cards which cover walks in Chelsea. I am an avid fan of Made in Chelsea- it always looks so beautiful on screen and so I was keen to see more in the area. The walk took us to the Saatchi Gallery (which was probably the best gallery I've visited in London since moving here), Kings Road, Chelsea Farmer's Market and to the neighbourhoods around Chelsea. We skipped the last part of the second walk as our feet were hurting so finished with a stroll along the embankment back to the bus.
I thought it would be nice to share photos from all of the walks that I will be hopefully doing so here are a few Instagram images from today's Chelsea walk!

Ooh I love the idea of this! I wonder if they do them for other cities. When I was in America last month I had the most fun when I was just walking around aimlessly because we discovered so much unintentionally! x
I love exploring new places. I've only been in Chelsea once but I need to go back and see more!

Ooh this looks like a lovely idea, I love exporing different cities so these would come in handy :)

Those cards sound such a great idea. I love walking around London - you can see so much in such short a time.
What a fun idea, I'd be on the hunt to poke Spencer in the eye, tell Jamie 'Biscuits' to man up and Louise that she is silly & picked the wrong man!! Don't even get me started on Rosie and Millie haha, I love MIC too!!xx

The cards look great. I've seen some books about London walks but didn't fancy carting them about, slipping a card into your hand bag sounds like a much better idea!
I live in london, in the Chelsea area actually but I will be picking this up for sure! xxx
Chelsea is gorgeous. I love walking around the area on a sunny day!
Nice!
