Sloane Street
Bit of a fashionable street this week – forming the border of Knightsbridge, Belgravia and Chelsea we have the street that brought us the rangers – Sloane that is – not Power.
Sloane Street has just about every shop that you could never afford to go in at the top end and runs quite some way from Knightsbridge down to Sloane Square. But sickening richness aside – it also has some rather wonderful dutch style architecture most of which were built by Earl Cadogan who gave his name to the infamous Cadogan Hotel. Lilly Langtry lived here for some time but it was most famous, of course, for the arrest of Oscar Wilde in 1865 charged with “committing acts of gross indecency with other male persons".
There's plenty to see here – and plenty of people to snap, if that's your bag.
