New branches are often started as a sole trader business
with the Franchise Partner fitting tyres himself. As the

Management Franchise, with all the operational activity
delegated to employees. Either way, branches can be
built up to be very lucrative, with strong sales and
cashflow, as would this franchise opportunity in Chelsea.

More about Chelsea
Chelsea is a district of London, bounded to the south
by the River Thames, where its frontage runs from
Chelsea Bridge along the Chelsea Embankment, Cheyne
Walk, Lots Road and Chelsea Harbour. Its eastern
boundary was once defined by the River Westbourne, which
is now in a pipe above Sloane Square tube station. The
modern eastern boundary can be said to be Chelsea Bridge
Road and the lower half of Sloane Street, including
Sloane Square. To the north and northwest, the area
fades into Brompton and South Kensington, but it is safe
to say that the area north of the King's Road as far
northwest as the Fulham Road is part of Chelsea.
The district is now part of the Royal Borough of
Kensington and Chelsea, but until the creation of the
GLC in 1965 it was a London borough in its own right,
the Metropolitan Borough of Chelsea.
Chelsea originated as a Saxon settlement. The word
"Chelsea" is probably derived from an Anglo-Saxon
description – the word Cealchyoe meant chalk wharf or
harbour. The first record of the Manor of Chelsea
precedes the Domesday Book and records the fact that
Thurstan, governor of the King's Palace during the reign
of Edward the Confessor, gave the land to the Abbot and
Convent of Westminster.
Henry VIII acquired the manor of Chelsea from Lord
Sandys in 1536. Both Catherine Parr and Anne of Cleves
lived in the Manor House, Princess Elizabeth (the future
Queen Elizabeth I) was a resident, and Sir Thomas More
lived more or less next door at Beaufort House. James I
established a theological college on the site of Chelsea
Royal Hospital (which was founded by Charles II).
By 1694, Chelsea – always a popular location for the
wealthy, and once described as "a village of palaces" –
had a population of 3,000. Even so, Chelsea remained
rural and served London to the east as a market garden,
a trade that continued until the 19th century
development boom when the district was finally absorbed
into the metropolis.
Chelsea was once famous for the manufacture of Chelsea
buns (a Chelsea bun is made from a long strip of sweet
dough tightly coiled, with currants trapped between the
layers, and topped with sugar). Chelsea is still famous
for its "Chelsea China" ware, though the works, the
Chelsea porcelain factory - thought to be the first
workshop to make porcelain in England - were sold in
1769, and moved to Derby. Examples of the original
Chelsea ware fetch high values.
The best-known building is Chelsea Royal Hospital for
invalid soldiers, set up by Charles II (supposedly on
the suggestion of Nell Gwynne), opened in 1694. The
beautifully proportioned building by Wren stands in
extensive grounds. There was also until recently the
Duke of York's Barracks off the King's Road, now a
shopping mall. Chelsea Barracks, at the end of Lower
Sloane Street, is still in use - primarily by ceremonial
troops of the Household Division.
Chelsea's modern reputation as a centre of innovation
and influence originated in a period during the 19th
century when the area became a veritable Victorian
artists' colony (see 'Borough of artists' below). It
also became prominent once again as one of the centres
of 1960s "Swinging London".
Chelsea once had a reputation as London's bohemian
quarter, and likes to think of itself as the haunt of
artists, radicals, painters and poets. Little of this
seems to survive now: the comfortable squares off the
King's Road are homes to the English military
establishment, American investment bankers and film
stars, and latterly the sexy pop siren Kylie Minogue.
Chelsea consists of two main postcodes (SW3 and SW10)
but also includes small sections of SW1. All of chelsea
is, by definition, in the London borough of "The Royal
Borough Kensington and Chelsea" (RBKC). On the eastern
side RBKC meets the equably fashionable and expensive
borough of the City of Westminster (COW), this meets at
Lower Sloane Street where the postcode is SW1W, with one
side of the road being in COW and the other in RBKC.
However it does give the strange result that some of
RBKC is in SW1W. The vast majority of Chelsea is SW3.
The far west of Chelsea is SW10/SW5 but due to the
absence of tube coverage in large parts of the Borough,
most people in SW10 use Earls Court tube in SW5.
