About Chelsea

Chelsea is an area of west London bounded to the south by the River Thames, where its frontage runs from Chelsea Bridge along the Cheyne Walk, Chelsea Embankment, 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 can be said to be Chelsea Bridge Road and the lower half of Sloane Street, including Sloane Square. To the north and northwest, the area fades into Knightsbridge and South Kensington, but it is safe to say that the area north of the King's Road as far northwest as the Fulham Road is part of Chelsea.

The district is now part of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. From 1900, and until the creation of the Greater London in 1965, it formed the Metropolitan Borough of Chelsea in the County of London.

Note also that Stamford Bridge, the famous headquarters of the Chelsea Football Club, though close to the west end of the King's Road, is actually in nearby Fulham, which therefore hosts two Premiership teams.

Do you know about Chelsea?

Chelsea consists of two main postcodes - SW3 and SW10 , but also includes small sections of SW1. All of Chelsea is, by definition, in the London borough of "The Royal Borough Kensington and Chelsea" RBKC . On the eastern side RBKC meets the equably fashionable and expensive borough of the City of Westminster COW, this meets at Lower Sloane Street where the postcode is SW1W, with one side of the road being in COW and the other in RBKC. However it does give the strange result that some of RBKC is in SW1W.

The vast majority of Chelsea is SW3. The far west of Chelsea is SW10 and SW5 but due to the absence of tube coverage in large parts of the Borough, most people in SW10 use Earls Court tube in SW5.

The most desirable part of Chelsea is around Sloane Square and Knightsbridge tube. Around here, Chelsea meets Knightsbridge. This property market attracts considerable international attention, and is a very complex market as it consists mainly of short leases under Earl Cadogan as freeholder. The area around Cadogan Square has seen a massive boom in the prices of property a 19% increase between 2005 and 2006 as is now very much viewed as a Global Ultra Prime Residential Area.

Much of Chelsea SW3 and Knightsbridge SW1X is still owned by Earl Cadogan. Most of the property he owns is in and around Cadogan Square. This has a major influence on the markets as the Earl is the freeholder and generally has no desire to sell; although changes in legislation now mean the freeholder is obliged to sell lease extensions to a leaseholder at prices which are determined by the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal. Earl Cadogan is generally regarded as an effective and successful property developer/landlord being responsible, together with his management team, for bringing all of the fashion labels to Sloane Street, and also forward thinking developments on his own account at Duke of York Square on Kings Road, at Peter Jones and on Sloane Street. Earl Cadogan owns a considerable portfolio of retail property throughout Chelsea but notably on Fulham Road, Kings Road, and Sloane Street including Peter Jones, Harvey Nichols, and 12 hotels including the Cadogan Hotel. Earl Cadogan also maintains many of the garden squares, (to which local residents can gain access by subscribing for an annual fee - and optionally the tennis courts where applicable).
