About this event

Discover the real Chelsea which is rich in history and scandal and encompasses princesses to punks, ties with America through plants, cotton and heiress wives to aristocrats. Walk through off the beaten track streets and explore property development that Prince Charles influenced and started a public debate on the role and limits of the royals. Uncover why Chelsea residents in their 50-90's look so young and healthy, learn their habits and foods they eat that are banned in America despite being very good for you. Learn which parts of Chelsea are great to buy, and which developments have seedy reputations. Explore streets inhabited by musicians, artists and writers, uncover the Irish connections to Chelsea. Sarah and Ari crafted this unique walking tour based on their experiences growing up in Chelsea as well as their current professions as art psychotherapists and realtors respectively. With Sarah's background as a historian, this walk encompasses many different lenses so you are left entertained and informed on multiple levels.
