Facts about Chelsea

Chelsea, best known for its rich history and culture, greatly differs in perception today from its origins. In the Swinging Sixties, this vibrant area of London was a major centre and became the residence of various artists, including Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Its list of notable residents doesn't stop there - Oscar Wilde, Freddy Mercury, and Sir Laurence Olivier also called this neighbourhood home. Interestingly, Chelsea is the birthplace of the renowned Chelsea Flower Show which, despite originally hailing from Kensington and maintaining a ban on garden gnomes until 2013, has become a symbolic event in the area. Today, Chelsea continues to be a sought-after area, with Chelsea serviced apartments being a popular choice for those looking to experience all the charm and character this historic area has to offer.
