In fact, the Brompton is the final stop, with every stop within 150 yards of the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the compact geographical footprint, the walk is packed with a more varied social history than you might expect in affluent Chelsea. Amongst many interesting characters, you will meet a George Cross winning chimney sweep, world famous novelists &amp; musicians, and find out why Trevor\u2019s family are so grateful to William Sutton.<\/p>\n<p>The walk will start at South Kensington Station, meeting next to Gilding The Lily Flower Stall, and should take 1 3\/4 hours &#8211; though please allow for up to 2 hours. The walk will end on Fulham Road near The Royal Brompton Hospital \u2013 a 5 to 10 minute walk from South Kensington Station.<\/p>\n<p>Please aim to be at the starting point 15 minutes before the start of the walk.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin: 20px 0;line-height: 22px\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.evbuc.com\/https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.evbuc.com%2Fimages%2F379208679%2F18182697121%2F1%2Foriginal.png?h=740&amp;w=1200&amp;auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;q=75&amp;sharp=10&amp;s=6edf3cbd9763fa954cad1fcb0f261eea\" alt=\"\" style=\"max-width: 100%;height: auto\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite the compact geographical footprint, the walk is packed with a more varied social history than you might expect of affluent Chelsea.
