Kensington
and Chelsea is
renowned for its thriving, cosmopolitan atmosphere. It has always been famous
for its lavish inhabitants. In the
18th Century London’s most beautiful courtesans were to be found in
its pleasure gardens (clearly being a bit too literal with the term ‘pleasure
gardens’). About the same time,
the Chelsea Art Club built up a notorious reputation for its outrageous balls -
a reputation that lasted about a century. It
became quite an arty area in the 19th Century, but Chelsea is far too
expensive for most artists now. A
number of art and antique shops can still be found with items with very fancy
price tags. In the 1960’s
Chelsea became trendy again with the rise of the fashion movement (apparently
the mini skirt was first paraded here, much to the shock of many Londoners).
Last but
not least, Chelsea is home to England’s leading football team (at the moment)
having recently won the English league title for the second year running and a
number of their players are heading to Germany to battle it out in the World
Cup. With this in mind, it seemed
suitable to pick Chelsea as the location for the Pub Crawl, and to end up in a
pub watching USA v Italy in the World Cup.
GO USA!!
Look
forward to you joining us!!
Many thanks to Simon and Cara McPhillips for their hard work in organising this event.
