Meet Katy
Hi, I’m Katy- owner of Pass The Keys® Chelsea. I was born in Poland, spent a few years as a child in America and finally moved to London 6 years ago. The moment I first visited Chelsea, I was enchanted. It was love at first sight. The energy of this place is incredible. My previous experience running a cleaning business which specialised in short term rentals has shown me that this is what I really love doing. Working with people and providing the highest quality of service to both our hosts and guests is where I thrive. I am very excited to be delivering a great experience in such a magical place.

Read MoreUncovering London's Quirky Secrets
London is a treasure trove of history, culture, and quirky tales. From ancient landmarks to modern marvels, this vibrant area is packed with interesting stories and fascinating facts that make it one of the world's most visited destinations. Here are fun facts that will give you a deeper appreciation of London's unique charm. 1. The Great Fire of London (1666) The Great Fire of London started in a bakery on Pudding Lane and destroyed much of the city. Surprisingly, only six verified deaths were recorded, although thousands of homes and landmarks were lost. The fire led to significant changes in building regulations and the city’s layout. 2. The Hidden River Fleet Beneath the bustling streets of Central London flows the River Fleet, one of the city’s lost rivers. Once an important waterway, it is now mostly covered over and incorporated into the city's sewer system, but you can still hear it flowing under certain manhole covers near Clerkenwell. 3. The Whispering Gallery at St Paul's Cathedral St Paul's Cathedral, one of London’s most iconic landmarks, features a Whispering Gallery. A whisper spoken against its wall can be clearly heard on the opposite side, 112 feet away, due to the unique acoustics of the circular gallery. 4. Big Ben is Not the Clock Tower Commonly referred to as Big Ben, the iconic clock tower of the Palace of Westminster is actually named the Elizabeth Tower. Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell housed within the tower, which chimes the hour. 5. The Millennium Bridge’s “Wobble” The Millennium Bridge, linking St Paul's Cathedral with Tate Modern, earned the nickname "Wobbly Bridge" after it swayed unexpectedly on its opening day in 2000. It was quickly closed and fitted with dampers to eliminate the movement, and it reopened in 2002. 6. The World's Oldest Underground London boasts the oldest underground railway system in the world. The London Underground, or the Tube, opened in 1863. The first line, the Metropolitan Railway, ran between Paddington and Farringdon, and today the network spans 270 stations. 7. The Smallest Police Station Tucked away in Trafalgar Square is London's smallest police station, built in the 1920s. It is so small that it can only hold one person and was originally used to observe protests and keep an eye on the square. 8. Platform 9¾ at King's Cross Station Harry Potter fans flock to King's Cross Station to see Platform 9¾, the magical platform that leads to the Hogwarts Express. There’s a special photo spot complete with a luggage trolley disappearing into the wall, making it a must-visit for Potterheads. 9. Cleopatra’s Needle An ancient Egyptian obelisk, known as Cleopatra’s Needle, stands on the Victoria Embankment. It was gifted to Britain in 1819 and dates back to around 1450 BC. Its journey to London was perilous, surviving a storm in the Bay of Biscay. 10. The Ceremony of the Keys A 700-year-old tradition, the Ceremony of the Keys is the nightly locking up of the Tower of London. It is a precise and ceremonial event that occurs every evening at exactly 9:53 pm, and visitors can attend by booking in advance.
