Group    From 1965 

Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea

The borough was formed in 1965 by the merging of the separate former boroughs of Kensington and Chelsea. It was originally planned to call it just Kensington, but Chelsea was added after local protests.

The vestries of Kensington and of Chelsea were precursors to this body.
