Discover Historic Chelsea: From Quaint to Quant - 1660s to 1960s

Come along to this guided walking tour of historic and fashionable Chelsea. We'll learn how it was transformed from a quaint village in the 17th century into the place to be in swinging 1960s.

Along the way we'll discover: a rowdy bakery with a famous product; a writer whose best-selling book was censored to avoid mass panic; the downfall of a wit and author; a legendary London street with the first ice-skating rink; a Queen's boot which took the fashion world by storm; the homes of the rich and famous...and much more!

This is a circular walk and we'll make our way back to Sloane Square.

So please join me in this friendly group and if this is your first time, you'll be made very welcome.
