The Pheasantry, Georgian building in Chelsea, London
The Pheasantry sits at 152 King's Road as a three-story Georgian building decorated with Louis XV architectural details and a carved stone entrance. The ground floor holds a restaurant while the upper floors serve as a venue hosting live music and cabaret performances.
The building took its name in the 1760s from Samuel Baker's breeding business that focused on exotic pheasant varieties. By the early 1900s it had become a center for Russian ballet training and dance instruction.
The space carries memories of the Russian Imperial Ballet, which shaped some of the most famous dancers of the 20th century. The name itself comes from an unexpected source: a breeding business for exotic birds that occupied the building long before it became known for art and performance.
The location sits on a busy street with easy access and good transportation links throughout the area. You can visit for performances in the upper floors or simply visit the ground floor restaurant without prior planning.
Eleanor Thornton, the model for the famous Rolls-Royce Spirit of Ecstasy mascot, lived at this address for a time. Her face became one of the most recognized symbols in automotive design history.
