Jubilee Place is a street in Chelsea, London. It runs north to south from Cale Street and Chelsea Green to King's Road. The first houses were built on the east side of the street in about 1809, and were largely complete by 1813, by when there was also a small row of houses on the west side. Jubilee Cottages, nos 13-15 are Grade II listed. In 1894, the artist Henry Charles Innes Fripp was living at 21 Joubert Mansions, Jubilee Place. From about 1900 to 1930, the sculptor Felix Joubert was living at no.2. In 1992, Kevin Maxwell and his wife Pandora were moved out of their six-bedroom house at no.36, then valued at £1.5 million. They were woken at 6:35am, Pandora being furious to be woken so early, especially with so many journalists outside. The sculptor Grizel Niven (1906–2007), who created the figurine known as "The Bessie" awarded each year to the winner of the Women's Prize for Fiction, lived there alone in a council flat. The modelling agency Storm Management is bassed at no.5. In 2023, Cole & Son, a wallpaper design company founded in 1875, opened their flagship gallery at no.3. Coincidentally, this Victorian building had been constructed in 1888 specifically for wallpaper manufacturing.

Dandie Fashions

Dandie Fashions or sometimes Dandy Fashions was a London fashion boutique founded in 1966, following a chance encounter at the Speakeasy Club between Freddie Hornik and Alan Holston, who then got together with Australian John Crittle, the Guinness heir Tara Browne and Neil Winterbotham, and launched the new business.Dandie Fashions opened its shop at 161 King's Road, Chelsea in October 1966. John Crittle had previously worked for Michael Rainey in his boutique Hung On You. Crittle and Tara Browne wanted a retail outlet for their new tailoring company Foster and Tara. In December 1966, Browne died in a car crash, while he was on his way to discuss shop front designs with the graphic artist David Vaughan. Crittle bought his share of the business. In this boutique Amanda Lear was arrested in 1967 by the police with drugs belonging to The Rolling Stones.Five months after opening their Apple Boutique in Baker Street (which ran from 7 December 1967 to 30 July 1968), the Beatles invested in Dandie, renaming it Apple Tailoring (Civil & Theatric). They were attracted to King's Road by the presence of the clothing boutiques Dandie, along with Granny Takes a Trip and Hung On You. Apple Tailoring opened at the same 161 King's Road premises as Dandie, on 23 May 1968. Neil Aspinall and Apple's accountant Stephen Maltz became directors. John Lennon and George Harrison attended the launch party. However, it never made a profit and closed some months later.
