About the event
What do a soldier, a singer, a queen and a fashion icon all have in common? They are bold women who made their voices heard and left a mark in a male-dominated world; and they all have an association with Chelsea.
On a three-mile stroll through the historic back streets of Chelsea, Emily Laurence Baker will tell the sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic, but always inspiring stories of these remarkable women.
This tour starts and ends at the National Army Museum. It will last around two hours.
