Description

Chelsea at the turn of the last century attracted bearded bohemians, fragrant fops in fedoras, riff-raff, writers, architects, painters, musicians, madmen, gays, cartoonists, ne'er-do-wells, socialites from the beau monde popinjays, coxcombs, cocksmiths, dandiprants, or just prats, poets, toffs, tarts, lounge lizards, charlatans, the jeunesse doree from the west end, actors, rebels, ruffians and free spirits.
This is a sideways look at a club that has been at the epicentre of bohemian life in Chelsea for over 125 years.
