London London.









Chelsea South West London

Chelsea is known for its affluent residents and the posh shops and restaurants that cater to them. It’s a cultural haven too, with the Royal Court Theatre on Sloane Square and the modern Saatchi Gallery on the Duke of York Square. Close by, busy King’s Road is lined with mid- to high-end stores. The red-coated retired soldiers known as the Chelsea Pensioners reside at the Royal Hospital Chelsea, near the Thames.

























                                                          Hello from London





















The name describes an area no more than 1 mile (1.6 km) from Westminster Abbey and the Palace of Westminster immediately to the west of the River Thames. The settlement grew up around the palace and abbey, as a service area for them. The need for a parish church, St Margaret's Westminster for the servants of the palace and of the abbey who could not worship there indicates that it had a population as large as that of a small village. It became larger and in the Georgian period became connected through urban ribbon development with the City along the Strand. It did not become a viable local government unit created as a civil parish.

Henry VIII's Reformation in the early 16th century abolished the Abbey and established a Cathedral - thus the parish ranked as a "City", although it was only a fraction of the size of the City of London and the Borough of Southwark at that time.

Indeed, the Cathedral and diocesan status of the church lasted only from 1539 to 1556, but the "city" status remained for a mere parish within Middlesex. As such it is first known to have had two Members of Parliament in 1545 as a new Parliamentary Borough, centuries after the City of London and Southwark were enfranchised.
