Walk of the Superstars

Home of Bram Stoker, author of Dracula
Battersea Power Plant, cover of the Pink Floyd album Animals
Street where Oscar Wilde lived
Home where George Eliot died
Home of Dante Gabriel Rossetti
Former home of Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones
Statue of Sir Thomas More, author of Utopia
King's Road, where the Sex Pistols and British punk in general started

I loved the Chelsea walk. I enjoyed seeing all of the homes of culturally important people. The places important to modern rock music were right next to the important literary places. The area was full of places where both authors and musicians lived and worked. Seeing the home of George Eliot right next to the home of Keith Richards was really interesting. I really enjoyed seeing all the musical and literary sights in Chelsea.
