About Chelsea and staying safe

Chelsea runs from Sloane Square along the King's Road to the river, a neighbourhood of pastel stucco terraces, garden squares, the Saatchi Gallery and the Royal Hospital. It feels like a village with excellent restaurants, and the Chelsea Embankment offers a quiet riverside walk towards Battersea Bridge. The area is well lit along the main roads, but side streets empty quickly after midnight and the tube is a little further away than elsewhere, so pre-book a taxi if you will be out late. Treat any request to pay before contact, or to switch to an unfamiliar app, as a warning sign. On LUX, every advertiser listing Chelsea has passed identity and age checks and re-confirms with a selfie every 90 days; the Verified badge on each profile tells you how recently. LUX is a directory, not an agency: advertisers publish their own contact method and set their own terms. If anything suggests a person is under pressure or under 18, report it straight away.
