Chelsea is a very fashionable, affluent and highly sought after district in the Royal Borough
With many delightful older style residential dwellings in peaceful and harmonious settings together with many new contemporary luxury apartments, which in particular overlook the River Thames. Chelsea is an area of South West London bounded to the South by the River Thames, where its frontage runs from Chelsea Bridge along the Chelsea Embankment, Cheyne Walk, Lots Road and Chelsea Harbour.
The River Thames is one of the highlights with a number of delightful attractions including pleasant riverside walks, boat cruises, whilst just across is Battersea Park which hosts a number of events including sports, children’s and musical activities. Cheyne Court along the Thames is one of the finest buildings on the Thames – The glorious Royal Hospital designed by Sir Christopher Wren founded in 1682 by King Charles II. Chelsea is very centrally & conveniently located, to the East is Mayfair and Central London with all the theatres e.t.c. all within easy reach. To the West is Fulham and it is in this area that one finds Stamford Bridge, the home of Chelsea Football Club. It is also home to the famous Chelsea Arts Club, founded in 1891 on the suggestion of Whistler and now is used by some 1600 painters, sculptors, architects plus 800 writers and musicians. It also boasts one of the most beautiful walled gardens in the borough ‘a real delight’. The King’s Road runs from Sloane Square and remains the major route through Chelsea and is well known for being a shopper’s paradise. Starting at Peter Jones just off Sloane Square there are a wide range of varying shops, from unique designer boutiques to more common chain stores such as Gap and H & M; roads off this include homes to the English military establishment and investment bankers.
