Chelsea, Greater London
Overview
Few place names in the world carry quite the same cachet as Chelsea. This area in West London has always been affluent, and in the 18th and 19th centuries even had a private road for the king, literally the King’s Road. That was ordered by Charles II, who also founded the Royal Hospital Chelsea as a retirement home for army veterans in need. The hospital’s residents, Chelsea Pensioners, show up often in British public life and attend Chelsea F.C. matches at Stamford Bridge. For culture, Chelsea has two institutions committed to taking risks and promoting new talent at the Saatchi Gallery and Royal Court Theatre.
