About Chelsea - The London borough of Kensington and Chelsea has 1,019 streets and at its widest point is 5.6 miles by 5.5 miles in length.
Shopping - Kensington and Chelsea is well known for its thriving, cosmopolitan atmosphere and has many famous shopping areas including High Street Kensington, the King's Road, and Knightsbridge, home to Harrods. Nowadays Chelsea is home to antiques as much as boutiques, and though many of the shops (top end high street) are small versions of outlets in the West End it still has a finger on the pulse when it comes to designer stores, with the added bonus of being more laid-back than feel than rival areas.
