What are the World Chelsea Bun Awards all about?
It easy to explain in video form – forgive the slightly blocky nature of this from the account, but it was difficult to record:

While you are there, you could check out some of the amazing Chelsea goodies they have in Partridges London including, believe it or not, Chelsea Bun Gin!
