Posh

The area around the Royal Hospital Chelsea, home of the Chelsea Pensioners. Some of the most expensive streets in London, with the King's Road, Sloane Square, and the Thames all within walking distance. The Royal Hospital itself is a baroque masterpiece. Housing is predominantly large terraced houses and mansion flats. It's peak Chelsea: expensive, established, and with a level of retail and dining that most London postcodes can't match.
