The pedestrianised Duke of York Square, just of the fashionable King's Road at the Sloane Square end, is an oasis of traffic-free calm. Modern glass fronted shops house chic boutiques, hair salons and coffee shops. You can combine shopping at Zara, Joseph, Banana Republic, Massimo Dutti and Liz Earle with a coffee at Patisserie Valerie or something more substantial at Manicomio, the Italian restaurant next door. You can even throw in some culture with a visit to the Saatchi Gallery in the south west corner of the square. Less hectic than the King's Road and away from the traffic fumes, it gets really busy on a sunny weekend when half of Chelsea descends on the square for some al fresco eating.
