Family run Partridges opened in Sloane Square in 1972 before moving to nearby Duke of York Square in 2004.

It was only re-awarded a Royal Warrant as Grocers to His Majesty, the King last year.

It previously held a royal warrant from Queen Elizabeth since 1994.

It will shut its doors on February the 2nd.

John Shepherd, Owner of Partridges says… “We are very sad to be leaving Chelsea after an incredible 53 years serving local residents. Although our Chelsea chapter is coming to an end we are looking forward to building Partridges in smaller and more sustainable shop formats across London. We are very proud to have recently achieved carbon neutrality for both our Chelsea and Gloucester Road stores, we have received a new Royal Warrant from King Charles and we have supported several hundred small artisan businesses by creating and curating the fine food market on the Duke of York Square on nearly 1,000 Saturdays. We send all the traders our very best wishes for the future.

Partridges has also been a force for good in the local community supporting many local charities and good causes and raising over £30,000 for the Children’s Surgery Foundation. At the heart of our success though lies our experienced and knowledgeable team of staff, who we thank enormously for all their years of service.

We hope that this is not goodbye and that many of our current customers will venture over to Gloucester Road to visit us there.”
