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.

    • Labour's latest Rye Lane Ward newsletter is now saying that demolition in the square will start this summer and that the wider station upgrade is expected to be signed off this year - as explained above, sadly wrong on both counts. It describes the renovation of adjacent buildings on Blenheim Grove as "successful", despite having lain empty for a couple of years, longer than the actual renovation works, before saying "the Council is hopeful [it] will see its first new occupants move in to this year". Cue desperate attempt to get at least one in before end of financial year? As for the other topic, in "November 2023, faced with a huge increase in graffiti across the borough, Labour-run Southwark council took action". Nice turn of phrase eh? Rather, after community pressure regarding years of inaction by said Labour-run council, it's finally started to do a little bit, a little late. Surely there would be more chance of resolving issues if our council could for once be part of an honest, informed discussion?
    • I don’t think anyone has mentioned Peckham FoodCycle yet, they might enjoy some apples! https://foodcycle.org.uk/location/foodcycle-peckham-saturdays/
    • Just wanted to recommend Roger from Critter Solutions Pest Control if anyone’s dealing with mice or other unwanted guests. We had a sudden issue with mice in our home's kitchen and after calling around, these guys were by far the most responsive and professional. Roger arrived on time, was really friendly, and took the time to explain what he was doing and why. He did a full inspection and sealed up some access points we hadn’t even noticed. Since his treatment we haven’t seen or heard anything since. What I appreciated most was that it didn’t feel like a rushed job or a hard sell – just honest advice and thorough work. All backed with a guarantee.  Would definitely use them again (hopefully won’t need to!) and thought I’d share in case anyone local is looking.
    • Another recommendation for Jeremiah! He's cleaned our windows for a couple of years now and is always reliable, friendly and does a great job
