A new Chelsea walking tour and pagan carnival-inspired dance

An entire neighbourhood designed with wellness in mind

No matter how much you relish city life, we're betting you want your home to be a haven away from the hustle and bustle. And you'd be hard pressed to find a London neighbourhood that offers more tranquillity than The Green Quarter in west London. This exciting new regeneration project — located 13 minutes from Paddington on the Elizabeth Line — has health and wellness at its heart, and its latest phase of homes is no exception...

On Saturday 11 May, The Green Quarter launches its Quadrant House show-home. This two bedroom, zen-inducing apartment boasts stylish yet soothing neutral tones and soft finishes, and even a Magic AI mirror for next-level at home workouts. Get a taste of life over here over a cup of herbal tea or a healthy smoothie, and enjoy an exclusive tour of the show-home while finding out about the 1, 2 & 3 bedroom homes available.

After your tour, you'll have ample opportunity to explore The Green Quarter as a whole. Grab coffee and cake in the charming community hub of Parkside Yards (psst...it's also got a pizza van, a lifestyle store, a tree nursery, and even a kids' jumping pillow!) Indulge your competitive side with a game of padel at Parkside Padel Club. Otherwise, go for a wander through the 4.5km of central gardens, or along the nearby Grand Union Canal.
