With the COVID-19 virus continuing to spread around the country and, in particular, in London, we have taken the necessary steps to safeguard the Chelsea Pensioners and staff at the Royal Hospital Chelsea. As such the Coffee Shop and the main Royal Hospital Chelsea site will now be closed to external visitors until further notice.

Please Note: The Coffee Shop is currently closed to all public access.
