  • Chelsea - the BOLTONS
    Chelsea - THE BOLTONS Centred around St Mary’s Church, The Boltons area was developed by the Gunter family between 1845 and 1870. The conservation area sits between Old Brompton Road in the north, Fulham Road in the south, Redcliffe Square in the west and Drayton Gardens in the east. The area is dominated by large stucco fronted houses, some of which have been converted and split into apartments. Some of the streets in the area are widely regarded as some of London’s finest addresses, including The Boltons itself – a street divided into two crescents with a communal garden and St Mary’s Church in the centre. The area is internationally popular, but is particularly sought after by buyers and tenants from the UK, Europe, the US and the Middle East. Residents benefit from plenty of local shops and restaurants and have the nearby underground stations at Earls Court, Gloucester Road and South Kensington for easy access in and around the capital.

  • The Kensington District
    The Kensington District By G. E. Mitton The Kensington District When people speak of Kensington they generally mean a very small area lying north and south of the High Street; to this some might add South Kensington, the district bordering on the Cromwell and Brompton Roads, and possibly a few would remember to mention West Kensington as a far- away place, where there is an entrance to the Earl's Court Exhibition. But Kensington as a borough is both more and less than the above. It does not include all West Kensington, nor even the whole of Kensington Gardens, but it stretches up to Kensal Green on the north, taking in the cemetery, which is its extreme northerly limit. If we draw a somewhat wavering line from the west side of the cemetery, leaving outside the Roman Catholic cemetery, and continue from here to Uxbridge Road Station, thence to Addison Road Station, and thence again through West Brompton to Chelsea Station, we shall have traced roughly the western boundary of the borough. It covers an immense area, and it begins and ends in a cemetery, for at the south-western corner is the West London, locally known as the Brompton, Cemetery. In shape the borough is strikingly like a man's leg and foot in a top-boot. The western line already traced is the back of the leg, the Brompton Cemetery is the heel, the sole extends from here up Fulham Road and Walton Street, and ends at Hooper's Court, west of Sloane Street. This, it is true, makes a very much more pointed toe than is usual in a man's boot, for the line turns back immediately down the Brompton Road.

  • Chelsea Alfresco — a Revitalised Street Culture Draws Homebuyers | Financial Times 11/08/2021, 12:14
    Chelsea alfresco — a revitalised street culture draws homebuyers | Financial Times 11/08/2021, 12:14 UK prime property Chelsea alfresco — a revitalised street culture draws homebuyers The London area’s ‘red trousers’ stuffiness is retreating in favour of a livelier vibe, giving the property market a shot in the arm Café culture is thriving in Pavilion Road © Charlie Bibby/FT Liz Rowlinson AUGUST 10 2021 At the southern end of Pavilion Road, a mews off Sloane Square, coloured bunting flutters between the artisan stores — butcher, baker, cheesemonger and fishmonger — and above a pavement packed with café tables. During the pandemic, the road — which five years ago was home to a lot of garages — has cemented its role as one of Chelsea’s most popular hubs, an alternative to the dozens of outdoor cafés and boutiques of Duke of York Square. “The area’s really come into its own and I’ve discovered a great community spirit,” says Ben Stroud, who works for an international property development company. He moved into a one-bedroom rental flat nearby in late 2019 after working in Dubai. “Other areas of London still feel like a ghost town.” Seeking a central postcode — but one that still felt residential and without too many tourists — he chose Chelsea’s SW3: “I really appreciate the wide choice of outside eating and drinking spaces.” Cadogan Estates, Chelsea’s largest landlord, has added 900 alfresco seats to help propagate the area’s café culture, and has secured permission from the council to permanently pedestrianise Pavilion Road after trialling it during the pandemic — the value of the 300-year-old estate fell 14 per cent last year to £4.8bn, with retail being the main drag on the portfolio.
