Chelsea Riverside is an electoral ward in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea that runs along the north bank of the River Thames, taking in a mix of former industrial riverside sites and newer residential developments. The area is visually defined by landmarks such as Lots Road Power Station and the marina and showrooms of Chelsea Harbour, with easy access to shops and galleries along the nearby King's Road and the ornamental bridges that cross the Thames.
Economically and socially the ward is notable for its contrasts: high‑value riverside apartments and design businesses sit alongside pockets of social housing and long‑standing local communities. Its history as part of Chelsea's artistic and industrial past combines with recent redevelopment pressures and riverside regeneration, making it a place where heritage, creative trades and contemporary luxury living meet.
