## Neighborhood Two long high streets, King's Road and Fulham Road run parallel to the river, meaning that nowhere in the neighbourhood are you ever more than a few minutes' walk from a world-class restaurant, an exciting little boutique, or an antique shop. Snaking along the banks of the Thames, pomp and circumstance precedes Chelsea’s bohemian-turned-businessman reputation. Influential bands like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones lent their stardom to Chelsea during the 60s.

Venture to Chelsea Farmer’s Market on Sydney Street – not, in fact, a market – for more independent businesses and restaurants; a lovely place to wander around and relax. Chelsea is blessed with a number of green spaces, including Battersea Bridge Gardens, Chelsea Embankment Gardens and Royal Hospital Chelsea, used for the Chelsea Flower Show. It also, of course, stretches along the banks of the River Thames. There are also many places of interest to while away a relaxed afternoon, including Chelsea Physic Garden, London’s oldest botanical garden, Chelsea Town Hall, home to the Chelsea Public Library and some historically important frescos, and the Saatchi Gallery, a hint to Chelsea’s artistic credentials. The area is renowned for its nightlife - lively but civilised - with lots of highly rated restaurants, bars and clubs, frequented by a young crowd. Chelsea Football...
