My work researching different areas of the country has recently culminated in a new historic brochure for one of the most sought after areas of London - Chelsea Garden Squares

Markham Square - Chelsea

Markham Square – Chelsea

The new brochure has just been published and you can view it here – Chelsea Garden Squares

The brochure looks at seven key squares: Paultons, Markham, Chelsea, Carlyle, Wellington, Tedworth and Queen’s Elm.

Along side the launch of the new brochure, we held an event at our Chelsea branch where I spoke on the history of the garden squares.

My talk was a brief look at the key historic elements of the garden squares – as well as the story of the double murder in 1870 that took place in Paultons and Wellington squares. See the story here

You can also see the first of my contributions to The Resident that will look at the story of each square.

    Well done! I think the historic elements of the garden squares make for a great lecture.. and there are probably more PhDs waiting to be written. If I was to do it myself, I would concentrate on the squares in the Bloomsbury area, I think. But then the Chelsea Garden Squares can contribute far more to new learning, not rehashing of stuff we already know.

      Thanks for the feedback on my research into Chelsea Garden Squares. I agree that the squares in Bloomsbury are also a fascinating area to look into. Actually, across London there are some fabulous examples. I have just completed another area history looking at Islington Squares which will be released soon. Thanks again for your feedback!

    I think the post is worth enough to be bookmarked! I must say the photography is excellent. I liked the side view the most. Thanks for the wonderful post!
