Chelsea Fringe

It consists of a variety of events and displays across multiple locations in London.

It was started in 2012 by Tim Richardson and is run by volunteers.

[1][2][3] In 2013, the fringe expanded to approximately 200 separate events, with the core site being a pop-up park at Battersea Power Station.

Ben Dark, reviewing for The Daily Telegraph, described the fringe as a "sprawling mess" but praised most of the exhibits which he visited, including the Gnome Invasion of Ockendon Road, the Dalston Eastern Curve Garden, and the Office Garden in Buckingham Palace Road.

[4] The festival was suspended in 2024 when Tim Richardson stepped down as the main organiser.
