Chelsea Bridge
Chelsea Bridge is a bridge over the River Thames in West London, connecting Chelsea on the north bank to Battersea on the south bank. There have been two Chelsea Bridges, on the site of what was an ancient ford.
The first Chelsea Bridge was proposed in the 1840s as part of a major development of marshlands on the south bank of the Thames into the new Battersea Park. It was a suspension bridge intended to provide convenient access from the densely populated north bank to the new park. Although built and operated by the government, tolls were charged initially in an effort to recoup the cost of the bridge. Work on the nearby Chelsea Embankment delayed construction and so the bridge, initially called Victoria Bridge, did not open until 1857. Although well received architecturally, as a toll-bridge it was unpopular with the public, and Parliament felt obliged to make it toll-free on Sundays. The bridge was less of a commercial success than had been anticipated, partly because of competition from the newly built Albert Bridge nearby. It was acquired by the Metropolitan Board of Works in 1877, and the tolls were abolished in 1879.

Chelsea
Chelsea was first a place name of Old English origin, and the most common theory of its meaning is chalk landing place, Cealc-hyĆ° = "chalk wharf". The Synod of Chelsea at Chelchith in 787 is often identified with Chelsea, London but the first firm record is of a manor at Chelsea just before the Norman conquest. Today this original Chelsea is part of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea and is pronounced \ch(el)-sea\ CHELL-see. From this origin other usages and places have arisen. For example Chelsea, Manhattan takes its name from a Federal-style house in the area which had been named after the manor of Chelsea, London. Joni Mitchell's song Chelsea Morning was named after the Manhattan district. The girl's name Chelsea is a 20th-century coinage and is also pronounced \ch(el)-sea\ CHELL-see, "Chel-sAE", or "Chels-ee-a". This name is possibly linked with British pop culture of the late 1960s and Joni Mitchell's song.

Chelsea Bachelor Pads
Some may want to purchase or rent bachelor pads in Chelsea, London. Some may want to get cheap or luxury bachelor pads.
Chelsea is an area of Central London, England, bounded to the south by the River Thames, where its frontage runs from Chelsea Bridge along the Chelsea Embankment, Cheyne Walk, Lots Road and Chelsea Harbour. Its eastern boundary was once defined by the River Westbourne, which is now in a pipe above Sloane Square tube station. The modern eastern boundary is Chelsea Bridge Road and the lower half of Sloane Street, including Sloane Square. To the north and northwest, the area fades into Knightsbridge and South Kensington, but it is safe to say that the area north of King's Road as far north west as Fulham Road is part of Chelsea.

Clapham Junction railway station
Clapham Junction railway station is near St John's Hill in the south-west of Battersea in the London Borough of Wandsworth. Many routes from London's two busiest termini, Waterloo and Victoria, funnel through Clapham Junction and so the station is one of the busiest in Europe by number of trains using it, more than one hundred an hour outside peak time.
