A HISTORIC Chelsea building which launched the careers of some of Britain's most famous artists has been handed a reprieve from demolition after protests by heritage groups.

Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea planners told developers to revise their plans to turn the former Chenil Galleries, at 181-183 King's Road, into flats and a large modern shop front, after a long campaign by the Chelsea Society.

A JEWEL garden sparkling with £20million worth of diamonds and precious stones is expected to stun visitors to the Chelsea Flower Show in the most expensive display in the event's 97-year history.

The Ace of Diamonds garden will be strewn with diamonds and other precious stones lent by Leviev, the Bond Street jewellers.

Tight security will be needed at the show's May 25 launch, to protect a £1m peony-shaped ring with pink and green diamonds and a rare blue diamond worth £3.2m.

WHETHER it's good, bad or downright atrocious, the England World Cup song is as much a part of the tournament as the football itself.

For many years, the leader of Kensington and Chelsea Council, Merrick Cockell, has lived the high life on taxpayers' money, with first-class trips to New York, San Francisco and Boston, staying at five-star hotels and indulging in expense account entertainment.

WORNINGTON Green is not a 1960s housing estate, as I have seen it referred to by the council. It was built around 1980, only 30 years ago.

Are we really saying that buildings now have a life of only 30 years?

ONE of Queen Victoria's favourite sculptors has been commemorated with a blue plaque outside his old house in Soth Kensington.

Baron Carlo Marochetti lived at 34 Onslow Square until his death in 1867.

SECURITY guards were on hand while Portobello Market supporters celebrated a small victory after councillors refused a clothing chain retrospective permission for its 'ugly' shop front.

Hundreds of protesters flocked to the town hall on Tuesday last week for the showdown meeting about the large All Saints shop at the market.
