Chelsea is widely known as one of London's safest and most desirable places to live, with a below average crime rate.
Chelsea is one of London’s most affluent and fashionable neighbourhoods, with independent boutiques lining the manicured streets of King’s Road. Duke of York Square is home to one of Europe’s largest chain shops and other top brands. For high-end jewellery and designer clothing head to Sloane Street, home to Cartier, Tiffany & Co, Prada, Hermes and more. Even if you don’t want to splash the cash, the architecture and buildings are worth going along for.
When the weather is good, there’s nothing more relaxing than a stroll around the Chelsea Embankment. The scenic embankment forms part of the larger Thames Embankment with a walkway that gives you stunning views of the northern Thames River. There are also a number of benches dotted along the embankment where you can sit and watch the world go by.
The Chelsea Flower Show is a garden show held for five days in May, in the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea. Every year the grounds are transformed, as people flood to the event to see the vibrant displays. Around the same time, local businesses get into the festival spirit by decorating their windows for Chelsea in Bloom.
