The Royal Hospital Chelsea
King Charles II founded the Royal Hospital Chelsea as a home for old soldiers and still retains that primary role today, being the home of the Chelsea Pensioner. The impressive Wren buildings represent one of the outstanding glories of English architecture and sit in 66 acres of beautiful parkland - an oasis in the heart of London by the river Thames embankment, but still within easy reach of public transport, shopping in the Kings Road and Knightsbridge and other facilities
