Partridges was an independent retailer in Chelsea, London that was known for selling specialty items. It closed in February 2025.[1]

Partridges was launched in 1972 by Sir Richard Shepherd and originally located on Sloane Street. It received Royal Warrant from Elizabeth II in 1994 moved to Queripel House in 2004.[1] Other than the monarch, Partridges was known to be popular among wealthy residents of Chelsea and London being described as the “country’s poshest grocer”.[2]

Partridges also operated a popular weekly food market in Duke of York Square which continues to operate.[2] Its closure was described as one commentator as being emblematic of the death of the high street.[3]

A second Partridges location was opened in 1998 on Gloucester Road and remains open.[4]
