Turner plans to stay in London after sale of Chelsea restaurant
Chef Brian Turner is selling his Turner's restaurant in Chelsea, London.
Turner said he had exchanged contracts for the 52-seat restaurant in Walton Street, but the sale had not completed.
He plans to open another, less formal, restaurant in the capital.
Turner said: "We are not prepared to say any more at the moment. It could still go wrong."
The restaurant, which Turner has run since 1986, weathering a recession along the way, has closed. Providing the deal goes through, it will become a bar.
The agents involved are Berkeley Simmons Davis and Knight Frank.
