I lived in Chelsea for five years and also my Father was a Chelsea Boy. Like most areas in London, people have just one opinion of the singular sort of person who lives in an area. There is a square 10 mins walk from Sloane Square, 15 mins from Harrods, 5 from South Kensington, which is a council block, and most of them are still council owned. I lived there. Many of the people who work at Peter Jones live there, I remember seeing them set off together in the mornings. Down the other end of the Kings Road - and still very much Chelsea, right by the most expensive part of the Kings Road, is the Cremorne Estate and also the big red brick tower estate next to that. I bet none of those people will appear in the programme about Chelsea. I hate this sort of programme. It does nothing for social harmony!


Um... sorry.... was I taking this thread a bit too seriously?!

I know that area.


It's the one where they all wear Reebok Classics and fake Hackett polo shirts with the collars up. The women sport bad tattoos and drag over fed staffs round the block to 'empty' them, all the while smoking king size "sovereigns" and doing scratchcards by the hand full.


Shame no pie & mash shops there though, still it IS chelsea afterall.


Yep, it is a unique place that's for sure. Well worth a tv show all of it's own.


N;-)

Used to go in the World's End pub a decade or so back - the customers in there were a tv series on their own.

It will be interesting to see how this will work, as the only way is Essex they picked the chavy type to representing Essex which I felt it was a little poor for them to do this. To do the only way is Dulwich it will have to be a magpie of people someone wrote in there thread young professional people live in ED we also have we also have diverse types of people that live here to.

    • I would leave London, or at a push move back to north London. In SE London if you want to get away in a car you are trapped, always an hour to go the first 10 miles, chugging up to the M4 or round the south circular, which is really just a line someone drew connecting a load of roads. and I know there are trains but first you have to get to those mainline stations, unless you only want to leave London to go to Kent. which I don't. 
    • It was you who  made it personal in the first place,  Jazzer. You said you didn't feel safe in the streets,  and you said you didn't go to Central London because you didn't feel safe there. So are you now saying that wasn't "personal"? "Fire from the hip." Another interesting choice of words 🙄 I'm not "demanding" anything! I asked you some perfectly reasonable questions in  response to your own statements. None of which you have answered. Never mind. It seems to be pointless having a discussion with you. It's long past my bedtime. I'm going to turn on my sleep app  and go to sleep 😴💤
    • Hi Forumites, This afternoon someone in a dark blue/black saloon car collided with my parked car on Thompson Road, SE22 9JR. I have a neighbour’s doorbell cam footage of the collision at 14:30 19/09/2025 but am unable to identify the registration plate. If anyone has footage of a car travelling down Thompson Road towards Crystal Palace Road at that time please PM me. Of course if the Perp would like to confess they can also PM me. Thankyou.
