About this Pub
Why it's great for Matchdays
The Cross Keys is in Chelsea (SW3) and shows live sport, so you can catch televised football on matchdays. It serves food with published kitchen hours and menus, useful for pre- or post-match meals. It also opens from 10:00 most days, covering early kick-offs, and is easy to reach via Sloane Square Underground or Imperial Wharf Overground—handy transport options on a Stamford Bridge day.

We booked a table for the Valentine’s Day dinner at The Cross Keys pub in Chelsea and had a wonderful experience. The ambience was beautiful and romantic, especially with the candle-lit tables. The service was very attentive and welcoming throughout the evening. The food was excellent — we had the scotch eggs, fried courgette, fish and chips, the pie of the day, and Rhubarb with apple crumble and custard for dessert — everything tasted delicious. The wine and beer were great as well. Thanks to The Cross Keys team for a lovely evening.
We love The Cross Keys. We've always enjoyed the ambience. The menu is always interesting and varied and the standard of cooking excellent. This evening our server was Veronica who did a perfect job. An all-round delightful way to spend a Friday evening after a tough week!
This historic pub on Lawrence Street is a true Chelsea gem. The Cross Keys has a fantastic atmosphere—it’s cozy and rustic with a beautifully refurbished interior that still feels authentic. The staff are incredibly welcoming and the service is always top-notch. The food is a major highlight. They focus on a "field to fork" philosophy, and you can really taste the quality in every dish. The menu is a mix of refined pub classics and more adventurous seasonal specials. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick pint or a full meal, you won't be disappointed. It's the perfect spot for a relaxed drink or a delicious meal away from the hustle and bustle. Highly recommend!
