New Forms brings music, culture, and community to Chelsea

A bold new space for sound and culture has landed on King’s Road – brought to you by the team behind Next Door Records. New Forms, a creative hub by day and vinyl-led listening bar by night, is now opening on 2 July 2025, offering a fresh alternative to the traditional bar scene and the latest addition to the neighbourhood’s new Creative Quarter on Chelsea Manor Street.

“It’s a continuation of our commitment to sound, community, and culture, reimagined for a new setting,” says co-founder Louis Raworth. “This marks an exciting next chapter for us, a natural progression that refines what we do best while staying true to our roots.”

By day, New Forms invites creatives and professionals to work, collaborate, and recharge. As night falls, the lights dim and the space shifts into a warm, minimalist listening bar where vinyl sets the tone and drinks are served with care. Designed with intention and detail, from its wooden interiors to its curated playlists, New Forms will offer a quiet, confident alternative to the typical bar scene that you will be visiting time and time again.

New Forms welcomes all those seeking connection, creativity, and culture, whether solo or social, day or night. This is what we’ve been waiting for.
