About the tour

Discover the old village of ‘Cealc Hyo’ or Chelsea, from its earliest origins to a rural, royal retreat, then a flourishing suburb.

This exciting tour explores Chelsea’s historic highlights, including London’s oldest botanic garden, former palaces and a 17th-century retirement home.

The tour starts and ends at the National Army Museum. It will last around 90 minutes.

About the guide

She regularly takes small groups on personalised walking tours and as a Chelsea local she loves sharing her neighbourhood’s history with others. Her dual nationality equals dual perspective, seeing London with the enthusiasm of a newcomer but with the added wisdom of a local.
