Whether you’re sober-curious or embracing Dry January, these are the most tempting booze-free beverages to be found in Chelsea

The best non-alcoholic cocktails in Chelsea, London

Maybe you identify as sober-curious and are interested in giving up alcohol for the long term, or perhaps you’ve embraced Dry January and have been teetotal since you woke up on 1 January. Either way, Sloane Street’s bars and restaurants have plenty of delicious alcohol-free options to ensure you can be sociable while entertaining your tastebuds and remaining clear-headed.

In fact, almost every eatery on the Street now offers an option for sober cocktail enthusiasts, so you’ll have plenty to choose from. No. Fifty Cheyne offers a selection of zero alcohol by volume (0% ABV) cocktails in partnership with CleanCo, the drinks brand founded by Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews that specialises in full-flavoured non-alcoholic alternatives to your favourite spirits. Wulf & Lamb also has extensive options to choose from, as does Sir Frank’s Bar at the Beaverbrook Town House, and The LaLee, inside The Cadogan, a Belmond Hotel.
