The King’s Road will be partly pedestrianised from Sloane Square to Walpole Street, featuring a Christmas market and pop-ups from many local businesses, face painting and Christmas cookie decorating, mulled wine and festive fizz, as well as entertainment, across two stages and roaming the neighbourhood.
