Chelsea

|
(London SW3 and SW10) Area in west central London on the north bank of the Thames. It was a village when Thomas More built himself a country house here in the 16C and when the *Chelsea Hospital was built in the 17C. Its reputation as London's artistic quarter derives from the late 19C, when Whistler and Rossetti lived by the river.
