No excuses are ever needed for a hot chocolate and especially at this time of year. And, especially in Chelsea. These are our favourite Chelsea haunts to enjoy the delicious beverage.
Knoops specialise in creating the perfect hot or cold drinking chocolate (a process they call ‘Knoopology’). All their delicious drinks are fully personalisable, using a different percentage of chocolate flakes, based on their menu system. Choose from 28% white to 100% dark (54% and up are all vegan-friendly) to create your own blend and then mix with your choice of dairy or plant-based milk to create a sumptuous hot chocolate.

Once you’ve finished at Bluebird, why not hop across the road to world-famous chocolatier Rococo Chocolates? They have plenty of delicious hot chocolate blends on offer in store for you to take home. Choose from traditional 65% dark chocolate blends or branch out to something more avant-garde with the likes of banana, cardamom or chai-enhanced hot chocolate flakes.
