Around this time, the village of Chelsea was still separate from London itself and the site nowadays inhabited by College Place was occupied by the Royal Exotic Nurseries, which served as a rich repository of Victorian plant-hunting mania and later inspired the naming of Hortensia Road, which was built in 1903.By the end of the 19th century, London had expanded, and Chelsea had become a flourishing city neighbourhood frequented by artists, intellectuals and the great and good of free-thinking society, including the likes of Bram Stoker, JMW Turner and Oscar Wilde.Punctuated by the founding of the boutique extravaganza, Bazaar, by queen of the miniskirt Mary Quant in 1955, it was during the 20th Century that the Kings Road rose to further prominence as a trendsetting epicentre of popular culture and it remains a hotspot for distinguished independent shops to this day.   For more details and to contact: https://realtyww.info/rooms_1_london-d196251/for-sale_i71607862
