Belgravia, Chelsea, Pimlico, and Battersea (north) were all prestigious neighborhoods in London in 1888. Belgravia was known for its grand townhouses and elegant streets, while Chelsea had a more bohemian and artistic vibe. Pimlico was a popular area for the middle class, with rows of terraced houses and tree-lined streets. Battersea, on the other hand, was a more industrial area with factories and warehouses.

Buckingham Palace, the residence of the British monarch, was a major landmark in the area, as was Victoria Station, one of London's busiest railway stations. Brompton Road and Knightsbridge were popular shopping destinations, with luxury department stores and boutiques.

Green Park and Hyde Park Corner were popular areas for recreation and relaxation, while Albert Bridge and Victoria Bridge were important river crossings. Battersea Park (north) was a popular park for leisure and sports.

Watney's Brewery was a major brewery in the area, and the Royal Military Asylum and Chelsea Barracks were both military institutions.

The Victoria and Southwark Water Works provided clean drinking water to the area.
