Fake 40

A number of premises at the Fire Station end of the famous Kings Road in Chelsea have decorated their fronts with flowers, possibly some spin off from the Chelsea Flower Show at the end of May.

This one being the once famous 'Six Bells' public house, now operating as the Ivy Chelsea Garden (reference 1). Possibly a branch of a chain spun out of the Ivy celebrity haunt in Covent Garden (reference 2).

The flowers are entirely fake.

PS: the present building was built around 1900 and there had seemed to be some connection with Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the chap who gave his name to the art school in Glasgow which burned down recently, for the second time. Possibly no stronger than the name of the pub and the name of the architect appearing in the same document about heritage Chelsea.
