The Chelsea Design Centre is an interior designer's paradise. All number of suppliers including paint manufacturers, fabrics outlets and bespoke furniture designers are housed under three glass domes in this design-rich corner of Chelsea. You'll have passed the famous Lots Road antiques auction houses to get to this end-of-the-road river-side centre. For the serious design student, the RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) bookshop is a wealth of information and, as befits its purpose, it's a sleek, styled space. Also in the north dome is a designer cool cafe, run by Absolute Taste, on the ground floor (both bookshop and cafe are open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm).
