Affluent, sophisticated and easy on the eye, Chelsea is a pretty area of London near to Hyde Park, South Kensington and Knightsbridge. It’s widely known as one of London’s safest and most desirable places to live. We stayed at a hotel off Bayswater, one street from Hyde Park and surrounded by large and glamorous town houses. A lovely experience.…

Kings Rd used to be the centre of fashion. But high rents have squeezed out the creatives, and only the large retail outlets remain. Kings Rd itself has become quite dangerous, with constant traffic, and angry motorists endangering cyclists and pedestrians. The ambience of Kings Rd has been reduced to the ambience of a traffic jam full of angry people - hardly worth visiting. Women walking along Kings rd, look poker faced and either hostile or depressed - having put their finest clothes on only to be eclipsed by the constant deluge of traffic. Many women come here looking for Mr Right (someone rich), yet all they find is noise, and the grinding traffic. Arabs find themselves pinned in between lorries and vans - unable to show off their Ferraris - simply another muted cog in a giant traffic jam. I cannot describe Kings Rd as relaxing at all. It is just an overcrowded road - far, far too overcrowded with vehicles. Kings Rd should be made completely traffic free, because the traffic is destroying the experience - and whats left is not worth visiting. Councils should be encouraging creative new businesses instead of hiking rents so high that only giant retail outlets can afford them. In summary, Kings Rd is no longer the centre of fashion. The greed of landlords and Councils has driven away creatives, and the road is simply a money grinding machine. The complete absence of town planning has resulted in traffic deluging the area and destroying any remnants of peace or tranquility - the constant noise, and smell of exhaust making the ambience stressful, hostile to cyclists and too dangerous for pedestrians crossing the road.…

Chelsea has long been considered one of the most desirable areas of London in which to live. With a central London location, great shops, and lively nightlife, it's an ideal place for anyone looking to experience the London lifestyle to the full.
