Battersea Power Station and Lovely Old Chelsea

Start Battersea Power Station tube

Finish South Kensington tube or cafe in the King’s Road

Cheyne Walk: The London Street With All The Famous Faces

We start with a neck craning ‘wow’ view inside the power station. There’s also a tiny museum inside we can stop at if you wish to know more about the old place. We then stroll along with Battersea Park on one side of us and a nice stretch of the Thames on the other. There’s a pagoda on our left, the Chelsea Pensioners Hospital on our right.  We cross the wonderfully rickety Albert Bridge before heading along Cheyne Walk, the home of the rich and famous which must have more blue plaques on it than any other road in London. Then its into a quiet, charming, little discovered part of Chelsea with lots of history.

We then cross the King’s Road and head into Kensington past a lovely old church and probably the finest art nouveau building in London, finishing close to the museums of Kensingston.  But this does make it one of our longest walks so if you prefer a shorter option, we can finish at a nice cafe or pub in the King’s Road.
