Chelsea is a wonderful area that has long attracted writers, artists and other illustrious figures (a house where Samuel Clemens lived is just around the corner). The streets are alive with upscale shops, galleries, restaurants and pubs, and here and there among them one finds plaques and other memorials celebrating highlights of neighborhood history. All along the Chelsea embankment of the Thames River is one of London's most popular strolls: Cheyne Walk. On the one side sit Henry VIII's Chelsea Palace and many other impressive houses and gardens, including the prominent Chelsea Physic Garden; on the other, a lineup of colorful houseboats. Also within walking distance are the Chelsea Antiques Market and two fascinating historical sites—the National Army Museum and the Royal Hospital. Each May the Hospital plays host to the Chelsea Flower Show in the beautiful Ranelah Gardens on its grounds (just down the street). North of the river lies Sloane Square, a Chelsea hub, home to the historic Holy Trinity Church and Royal Court Theatre. The walk to Sloane Square is 10 minutes down Kings Road, an ideal place for shopping, restaurants and coffee bars. Once in Sloan Square, guests will find the underground to carry them to the theatre district and all of the other of London's most celebrated attractions.
