A glimpse inside the world of Tim Gosling at Auriens Chelsea, as he joined Carole Annett for an evening of conversation exploring design, collecting and craftsmanship.

Tim reflected on the experiences and interests that have shaped his work in interior design, from his 18 years at Linley to establishing his own studio. The discussion covered craftsmanship, collecting, furniture design and projects including The Goring.

Thank you to all who joined us.

Earlier this month, residents gathered in the Auriens Chelsea library to welcome opera singers from Opera Prelude for an enchanting recital of 'So This Is Love?'

London-born mezzo-soprano Clover Kayne, praised for her warm and expressive tone, performed a carefully curated programme of opera and song, accompanied by pianist Joe Cavalli-Price, founder of Music in Hospices and a passionate advocate for the role of music in wellbeing.

A memorable evening for the Auriens community.

The wood-panelled wine room at Auriens Chelsea is an intimate, thoughtfully designed space where residents can store fine wines, host private gatherings with friends or committees, and enjoy tastings with leading London sommeliers.

The wine room is one of several exclusive amenity spaces available to our residents, alongside a speakeasy-style bar, cinema room, and library, all designed to support a socially connected and experiential environment.

A memorable evening at Auriens Chelsea, as students from English National Ballet School, under the direction of Artistic Director Lynne Charles, brought Tchaikovsky’s world to life through movement and music.

This special performance marked the beginning of an ongoing partnership. Auriens is supporting a first-year student throughout their three-year training programme. As part of this journey, residents have already begun attending rehearsals, masterclasses, and performances.

At Auriens, our in-house wellness team supports every resident with personalised care. Led by Gideon Remfry, Director of Wellness, alongside Wellness Supervisors and Exercise Specialists Alex Kharadi, Caroline Curry, and Dean Williams, the team delivers tailored programmes designed to optimise health, resilience, and overall wellbeing.

Upon arrival at Auriens, each resident receives a comprehensive wellness consultation, including biomarker testing, body composition analysis, and a plan designed around their individual needs and goals. Our integrated approach combines exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle guidance to support strength, balance, and long-term health.

Residents consistently see tangible results, from improved mobility and core strength to greater confidence and independence.

We were delighted to recently host Alan Russell of Russell Simpson at Auriens Chelsea. During his visit, Alan put his artistic skills to the test during one of our art classes, held in our light-filled studio spaces.

Art sessions form part of our wider calendar of immersive weekly activities and events for residents - for those with a long-standing passion for the arts, as well as those keen to explore new creative pursuits, and community gatherings.
