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’m pretty sure it was Brian of Advanced painting who renovated the outside perhaps he will know more he’s a long time resident
    • Would you like a copy of my spreadsheet? It's hours of fun.
    • Callout for help from any local experts here. Looking to find out more about the history of the property on the corner of Whateley Road and Ulverscroft road (with the green glazed bricks). Now a residential property, i'm told it was a bottle shop in days gone (the house was built around 1900) by and i'd like to learn more about the history of the business that was once here - name, photos, anything at all really! Seems to be very little from open source research so i'm hoping anyone with history in the area can provide any insight!  Starting here before i contact Southwark Archives or similar orgs to get any information and pictures (any advice here also would be welcome). Thank you
    • Portable ramps are available for businesses to use in this sort of situation, aren't they? I don't know whether one would be suitable for use here, or whether they have the space to store one. Lots of people have  permanent or temporary disabilities which mean they have to use crutches or a wheelchair.
