About

The Royal Hospital ward is located in the southern part of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It is primarily a residential area characterised by its proximity to the Thames and includes the grounds of the historic Royal Hospital Chelsea, home to the Chelsea Pensioners. The area contains a mix of mansion flats, terraced housing, and modern developments, with local commerce focused along Chelsea Embankment and parts of the King's Road.

The ward's identity is strongly shaped by the extensive, private Ranelagh Gardens within the Royal Hospital grounds, which host the annual Chelsea Flower Show. Green space is also provided by the adjacent Battersea Bridge and the Chelsea Physic Garden just beyond its western boundary. The residential streets are generally quiet, with a notable architectural consistency in the red-brick buildings that dominate the area.
