plenty to do in <strong>Chelsea</strong><br />
Galleries showcasing photography,<br />
sculpture, drawings and paintings from<br />
all ages are found splashed around <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>Chelsea</strong> area, which is now a major<br />
arts hub, partly thanks to <strong>the</strong> arrival <strong>of</strong><br />

hitting <strong>the</strong> ground running. Although<br />
<strong>the</strong>re are a few artists <strong>who</strong> have built up<br />

are new and previously un<strong>know</strong>n.<br />
