Chelsea walk
In the 16th century Chelsea was a village of palaces, Henry VIII had a manor house here. In 1682 Charles II founded the Royal Hospital Chelsea which is today still home to retired soldiers, the Chelsea Pensioners. In the 19th century it was a favourite haunt of artists, Turner, Rossetti and Whistler lived here and of course there is the King’s Road, where in the ‘swinging 60’s’, the mini skirt was born.
