Why are Chelsea and Putney said to be in South London?

[Orang Utan]

It's quite simple - South London is south of the river, and East, West and North London are North of the river.

This remains true

I've just 'liked' one of your posts from 2005 - does that help?

Thanks for the reminder

My first posting on Urban75. Couldn't help joining as the humour appealed, or should be that be 'appalled'? I was searching for the Chelsea/South London link and this site came up. It's funny, with some very clever witticisms. It's an interesting debate as both sides make sense. Geographically, Chelsea can't be in South London, but in terms of the City itself, and using the River Thames as your guide, it is South London. Anyway, thanks to all for a most entertaining introduction to this site.

I can see Chelsea. It's to the North of me, therefore I'm in the South.

As a Palace fan you will always have to look upwards ie North to see Chelsea because we are always above you in the league.

I have never and will never look up to Chelsea.

Sometimes Chelsea are so good we even score for the oppo to help their miserable season along.
