Chelsea is an area of south-west London, England, bounded to the south by the River Thames, where its frontage runs from Chelsea Bridge along the Chelsea Embankment, Cheyne Walk, Lots Road and Chelsea Harbour. Its eastern boundary was once defined by the River Westbourne, which is now in a pipe above Sloane Square tube station. The modern eastern boundary is Chelsea Bridge Road and the lower half of Sloane Street, including Sloane Square. To the north and northwest, the area fades into Knightsbridge and South Kensington, but it is safe to say that the area north of King's Road as far northwest as Fulham Road is part of Chelsea.

The word Chelsea means "landing place [on the river] for chalk or limestone" (Old English). Anglo-Saxon Cealc-h3ð = "chalk wharf". The first record of the Manor of Chelsea precedes the Domesday Book and records the fact that Thurstan, governor of the King's Palace during the reign of Edward the Confessor, gave the land to the Abbot and Convent of Westminster. Abbot Gervace subsequently assigned the manor to his mother, and it passed into private ownership. Modern-day Chelsea was the site of the Synod of Chelsea in 787 AD. Chelsea Bridge is a self-anchored suspension bridge for road and foot traffic running north-south over the River Thames in London, between Grosvenor Bridge and the Albert Bridge.

Chelsea shone again, brightly but briefly, in the 1960s Swinging London period and the early 1970s. The Swinging Sixties was defined on King's Road, which runs the length of the area, and both the Beatles and Rolling Stones members Brian Jones, Mick Jagger, and Keith Richards lived here at one time.

Sloane Street is a street in London which runs north to south, from Knightsbridge to Sloane Square, crossing Pont Street about half way along. It forms the boundary between the exclusive districts of Knightsbridge, Belgravia, and Chelsea.

The RHS Chelsea Flower Show, officially the Great Spring Show, is a garden show that has been held each year on five days in May by the Royal Horticultural Society ("RHS") in the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea in Chelsea, London, England. Popular parts of the Chelsea Flower Show include the flower arranging and the show gardens.
