Founded in 1673 by the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries, Chelsea Physic Garden is the oldest botanical garden in London and one of the oldest in Europe. Established to train apprentice apothecaries in the identification of medicinal plants, its walls have contained centuries of botanical discovery — from the first cedar trees grown in England to the cotton seeds that seeded an industry.

Today the garden is home to around 5,000 edible, useful, and medicinal plants, arranged across a series of themed beds that trace the relationship between plants and human life across cultures and continents. It remains a working garden: somewhere genuinely studied, tended, and cared for, as well as visited.

Tucked behind its iron gates on Royal Hospital Road, it is one of those London places that rewards the curiosity of those who seek it out.

As an independent charity, Chelsea Physic Garden relies on visitors, Friends and supporters to help protect and nurture the Garden for future generations.

As a proud supporter of Chelsea Physic Garden, Sloane Place is delighted to offer all hotel guests complimentary admission to the garden during your stay. Access to the garden can be requested via our Concierge Team, upon arrival to the hotel. Kindly note that this offer is subject to availability.
