Rooms offered to rent in redundant Chelsea police station
Closed since December 2014 and repeatedly placed for sale at prices as high as £39 million, rooms are now being offered for rent in the former Chelsea Police Station via Spareroom.co.uk.
Priced between £400 and £600 per room per month including bills, an advertisement for what is described as a “new guardian scheme” states that the “iconic building” includes “a number of rooms… as well as an enormous amount of communal space”. There is said to be a table tennis room, cinema room and a dining room and plainly to avoid attracting criminals, the advert adds: “Guardians will will be carefully vetted to ensure a decent crowd”.
