About

Chelsea Riverside ward occupies a western strip of the borough along the Thames, defined by its relationship to the water. The area is primarily residential, characterised by modern apartment complexes and mansion blocks, with some older terraced housing closer to the Fulham Road boundary. Its main thoroughfares are Lots Road and the Chelsea Embankment, which provides a direct route along the riverfront.

The ward is home to the Chelsea Harbour marina, a distinctive development with residential towers and a private marina basin. Industrial heritage remains visible at the Lots Road Power Station, now converted into apartments. Green space is provided by the Chelsea Physic Garden and the riverside walkways, which offer views across to Battersea Park.
