Chelsea Harbour is a mixed-use development in Central London, situated on the north bank of the River Thames, in the Sands End area. It lies within the eastern boundary of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham and on the southwestern boundary of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

Built in the late 1980s by P & O, their contractors were their former subsidiary, Bovis Homes Group, it is now owned by Compco holdings Ltd. It contains luxury apartments, a 5 star home named Wyndham Grand [1], and offices and showrooms, surrounding a small marina. The showrooms are known as the "Chelsea Harbour Design Centre" and are London's main focus for manufacturers and distributors of home ware and interiors. The offices are in 2 buildings known as Harbour Yard and The Design Centre East that are marketed by Frost Meadowcroft and Edward Charles & Partners; occupiers including Guess (clothing). [2]

The marina itself is not used commercially but contains luxury yachts and speedboats and can be accessed from the Thames at high tide. Counter's Creek that has its source in Kensal Green Cemetery and crossed the Fulham Road at a sandy ford, that gave the name to Stamford Bridge enters the Thames just north of Chelsea Harbour where it is known as Chelsea Creek.

Chelsea Harbour is close to Kings Road, Chelsea and it is reputed to be the residence of a number of UK and international celebrities. The nearby "Harbour Club" is a fitness and tennis club which owes much fame to its patronage by Diana, Princess of Wales.

An adjoining, large scale development is being planned by Circadian, on the site of Lots Road power station.

A horse named after the development competed in the 2008 & 2009 Grand Nationals.
