“We loved our stay in Chelsea, it was the perfect place to cap off our honeymoon around Europe. We didn't feel like tourists but felt as though we actually lived in London and it was such a beautiful area to be in with so many fabulous bars and shops. The apartment itself was perfect in a very nice area of London. Easy to walk to the tube and plenty of buses up and down the King’s Road, we really wouldn't recommend staying anywhere else! Hugo was great with his tips and very quick to respond to any questions we had, also making check in and check out as simple as possible.”

Seven nearly completely useless facts about Chelsea to irritate people with at dinner parties
Stand on the platform at Sloane Square Tube Station, in the heart of Chelsea, and look up. You’ll see what looks like a big, ugly green girder; this is actually a tube containing the remains of the River Westbourne, a tributary to the Thames which starts at Hampstead Heath
Michelin House opened as the original UK headquarters for the Michelin Tyre Company in 1911. It is now the fabulous Bibendum wine bar and restaurant (a bottle of chablis and a platter of oysters there is a London must-do)
King Henry VIII acquired the manor of Chelsea from Lord Sandys in 1536; Chelsea Manor Street is still extant. Two of King Henry’s wives, Catherine Parr and Anne of Cleves, lived in the Manor House
There is a shop with a clock that goes backwards in an area of the King’s Road known as World’s End which was home to Vivienne Westwood’s famous Sex shop in the 1970s
It would be a difficult one to prosecute, but it is actually illegal to die in the House of Commons. This law has been on the statute books in London for several hundred years, but no one can remember why, so they left it there. It is also illegal to enter Parliament wearing a suit of armour. The House contains eight bars, six restaurants, a rifle range and a hairdresser; none of which are open to the public. Okay so i know Parliament is not even in Chelsea, but we did try and warn you these facts would be useless
Sloane Rangers were a phenomenon that arose in Chelsea in the 1980s. The dictionary describes them as: “A member of a trendy and acquisitive set of largely upper-middle-class young people of Chelsea”. But nearly everyone else described tham a bunch of braying toffs hell-bent of spending their family’s inheritances before their 21st birthdays. You can still see the odd one looking lost outside Sloane Square Tube station
Chelsea have the most annoying football team in the Premier League
