Chelsea - the Land of the Famous

So we decided to take a walk around Chelsea, a part of London where some of the more famous writers and painters of the past lived. It was pretty cool!
We saw the Michelin House (the office of the Michelin Tyre Company).

And the Nell Gwyn House (named after the actress & mistress of Charles II).


We came upon the homes of Sir Laurence Olivier, the famous actor, and Bram Stoker, author of Dracula, next.


The hospital we saw caught my attention. It was either built for the soldiers, after Nell Gwyn was approached by a begging veteran and had sympathy on him, or it was built by Charles II after he had seen something similar in Paris.
The Chelsea Pensioner's Hospital


As we came to the Thames, we saw the Chelsea bridge...


And I saw this across the river! I thought it was pretty!

We all thought the Chelsea Physic (Medicinal) Garden was gorgeous. It was designed by the Apothecaries' Guild back in the 1670's.


I love walking around the city! There are so many things to see and so much history! I am just lovin' London!
