London 4K - British Celebrity - Driving Downtown - Chelsea London England
Friday morning drive in the British celebrity neighborhood of Chelsea. Does your favorite actor or musician live or own property here? Check the list below! Chelsea is an affluent area of South West London. The exclusivity of Chelsea as a result of its high property prices and is home to one of the largest communities of Americans living outside the United States
Chelsea's frontage runs from Chelsea Bridge along the Chelsea Embankment, Cheyne Walk, Lots Road and Chelsea Harbour. Its eastern boundary was once defined by the River Westbourne, which is now in a pipe above Sloane Square Underground station. The modern eastern boundary is Chelsea Bridge Road and the lower half of Sloane Street, including Sloane Square. To the north and northwest, the area fades into Knightsbridge and Brompton, but it is considered that the area north of King's Road as far northwest as Fulham Road is part of Chelsea.
The exclusivity of Chelsea as a result of its high property prices has historically resulted in the term Sloane Ranger being used to describe its residents. Since 2011, Channel 4 has broadcast a reality television show called Made in Chelsea, documenting the lives of affluent young people living there. Moreover, Chelsea is home to one of the largest communities of Americans living outside the United States, with 6.53% of Chelsea residents being born in the U.S.
Swinging Chelsea and Today
Chelsea shone again, brightly but briefly, in the 1960s Swinging London period and the early 1970s. The Swinging Sixties was defined on King's Road, which runs the length of the area. The Western end of Chelsea featured boutiques Granny Takes a Trip and The Sweet Shop, the latter of which sold medieval silk velvet caftans, tabards and floor cushions, with many of the cultural cognoscenti of the time being customers, including Keith Richards, Twiggy, and many others.
The Chelsea girl was symbol of, John Crosby wrote, what men [found] utterly captivating, with a 'life is fabulous' philosophy. Chelsea at this time was home to the Beatles and to Rolling Stones members Brian Jones, Mick Jagger, and Keith Richards. In the 1970s, and saw the birth of the British punk movement.
By the late 1970s, the growing bohemian and punk population moved from Chelsea into nearby Notting Hill and further north to Camden Town, with the rapid gentrification of the two areas, both of which remain places with a significant population of artists, musicians and those who work in other creative industries, particularly Camden Town.
King's Road remains the major artery through Chelsea and a busy road, and despite its continuing reputation as a shopping mecca, is now home to many of the same shops found on other British high streets, such as Gap, and McDonald's. Sloane Street is quickly catching up with Bond Street as one of London's premier shopping destinations, housing a variety of high-end fashion or jewellery boutiques such as Cartier, Tiffany & Co, Dolce & Gabbana, Prada, Gucci, Harrods, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Jimmy Choo, Giorgio Armani, Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel, Valentino, Bvlgari, Gianni Versace and Graff.
Cheyne Walk London Chelsea + The Rolling Stones house tour
Cheyne Walk in London's Chelsea has been home to some renowned individuals during its long history including prime ministers, music composers, and painters who liked to sketch by the river Thames. In recent decades however, it has been nick named ‘Rolling Stones Row’, as band members moved in and out of houses and homes on Cheyne Walk. Keith Richards once owned number 3, Sir Mick Jagger number 48 and Ronnie Wood number 103 Cheyne Walk.It is easy to see why it is one of the most desirable streets in London and has long been considered as a sound financial investment for property portfolio's of those fortunate enough to buy houses here.

Walking Literary London! Chelsea London Walk!
Walking Literary London! Chelsea London Walk! [OPEN FOR LINKS AND INFO!] #LondonWalks #Literature #Chelsea I'm walking literary London again, this time with a Chelsea London walk! Scroll for a list of the literary sights featured!
Look at all that scaffolding! So that was a little irritating, but apart from that this was a really enjoyable walk! I'll list below all of the details about the places featured, as well as the rough time stamps. As with my previous Walking Literary London video, most of the places here (aside from P.L. Travers's home) I'd read about in the same-titled book by Roger Tagholm. It's a great book, and definitely worth checking out if you're interested in London, literature, history, and historical literary London!

Chelsea Walkabout 1 London September 2013
rrz518 enjoys a morning stroll through this beautiful area of London.
Chelsea is an affluent area in west London,[1] 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. Its eastern boundary was once defined by the River Westbourne, which is now in a pipe above Sloane Square tube station. The modern eastern boundary is Chelsea Bridge Road and the lower half of Sloane Street, including Sloane Square, along with parts of Belgravia. To the north and northwest, the area fades into Knightsbridge and South Kensington, but it is safe to say that the area north of King's Road as far northwest as Fulham Road is part of Chelsea.
The district is part of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. From 1900, and until the creation of Greater London in 1965, it formed the Metropolitan Borough of Chelsea in the County of London.
The exclusivity of Chelsea as a result of its high property prices has historically resulted in the term Sloane Ranger to be used to describe its residents. From 2011, Channel 4 has broadcast a reality television show called Made in Chelsea, documenting the glitzy lives of several young people living in Chelsea. Moreover, Chelsea is home to one of the largest communities of Americans living outside of the United States, with 6.53% of Chelsea-residents being born in the United States.[2]
