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.

    • However, some would particularly like to avoid reviews of the 'there are far too many mice'; 'the cakes are deteriorating badly' nature. If you consider that a 'Negative Nelly' response. My experience was that the hot drinks and the varieties of e.g. teas on offer, were generally a positive element. As were the staff serving. 
    • The hare krishna restaurant is called Govindas and still going strong in Soho Street, a different establishment to the one that used to be (still is?) in Hanway Street. I must go back to Govindas some time
    • Its that time of year again, past Christmas day and late delayed cards are turning up. How late are your cards arriving ?  Last year I had one delivered 4 weeks late. Can that be beaten this year ? 
    • Sadly, a lot of businesses didn't invite reviews on the EDF at that time due to a number of "negative nellies" that would take delight in posting unfavourable comments, often despite never being to the business in question.  No matter how good the place was, some posters would find fault that wasn't there "don't lile the colour of the bidet set in the private bathroom, avocado 😅" Can hardly blame businesses at the time for not wanting reviews on here, thankfully that has mostly changed now.
