Bluebird Chelsea hosts private dinners, receptions and weddings for 12 to 500 guests across five private spaces, a first-floor restaurant, a bar and a courtyard on King's Road in London. The building began as a motor garage and is now an Art Deco restaurant in Chelsea, part of the Evolv Collection.
Seminars and company events
The official site names corporate events among the uses of exclusive hire. The first-floor restaurant can be taken over for a dinner of up to 200 guests or a reception of up to 500, and the private rooms suit smaller dinners, launches and drinks receptions. The Campbell Room on the ground floor is described as a blank canvas for launch events and showcases. The site does not describe plenary equipment or a daytime meeting package, so confirm audiovisual needs and daytime access with the events team before planning a conference format.
Weddings and receptions
Bluebird describes itself as a licensed wedding venue for up to 500 guests, with 200 seated and 500 standing. Couples can use the Art Deco restaurant or one of the private spaces, and the venue works with its own planners and trusted suppliers. The Campbell Room is also suggested for wedding ceremonies. A wedding brochure is available through the events pages.

History and setting
Bluebird Chelsea stands at 350 King's Road in a building that began as the Bluebird Motor Garage over a century ago. Sir Terence Conran later created it as a restaurant and food hall for Chelsea, and the Art Deco frontage is part of its appeal. The venue also houses a members' club.
