Parking in Chelsea

King's Road — short-stay spaces only

Chelsea's King's Road and Sloane Square are among London's most desirable shopping streets, and parking is at a premium. The Royal Borough enforces CPZ restrictions rigorously and the short-stay nature of most bays means wardens check frequently. Setting a precise timer is essential.
