George Gissing lived in Chelsea in this house abutting to Paulton Square, between 1882 and 1884; a very fashionable pasrt of residential Chelsea - how woulld a pauper have afforded to live here in Victorian times is difficult to imagine. He never received at home, although he was close to a number of literary figures and was never seen in public with his wife. Nell Gissing, his wife, died of alcoholism and possibly venereal disease, contracted as a part-time prostitute.
Gissing died in SW France's Basque country and is buried in the English cemetery in St Jean de Luz.

this was a wonderful pub full of charm especially because it was not tarted up and had genuinely local patrons and a friendly atmosphere. The chorister of St Luke's church opposite were reputed to use the Wellington as their watering hole.
