It can be pinned down a bit more tightly by looking at The Enumerator's District Description for NW Chelsea, District 10.

The 'beat' the enumerator lays out says this:-

#s 256 to 178 (junction) Kings Road

#s 1 - 4 Omega Terrace

#s 1 -5 Alpha Terrace

#s 1 -53 Blenheim Street

#s 1 - 4 Markham Terrace

#s 1 - 12 Brewer Street

#s 22 - 33 Upper Manor Street


If that doesnt help, we can look at adjcent districts for any higher #s in Omega Terrace, and see other street names ....

#s 22 - 33 Upper Manor Street


Taking this information, together with my 1862 Stanford's map as compared to a modern map, this places Omega Terrace somewhere on the north side of King's Road between what is now Sydney Street and Markham Street:

http://tinyurl.com/2aph87 (use tools to zoom in)

Upper Manor Street (as was) is now the part of Chelsea Manor Street which runs to the north of King's Road

Blenheim Street (as was) is now Astell Street and Burnsall Street, again to the north of King's Road

Markham Terrace is likely to have been close to Markham Square and Markham Street, again, both to the north of King's Road

Brewer Street I can't find in 1862, but the area between Upper Manor Street and Blenheim Street was occupied by the Anchor Brewery, so Brewer Street may have been connected with that.

I don't see Alpha or Omega Terrace in 1862, but they may have been rows of properties on, or slightly set back from King's Road itself.  In 1862 there were terraces named Manor Terrace and King's Road Terrace which fitted this description.

Omega Terrace is now 8, 10, 12 and 14 Burnsall Street Chelsea.  I have a map showing Omega Terrace.

2 Omega Terrace (now 10 Bursall Street) was later occupied by Diana Dors and has a blue plaque.

Some of my wife's relatives were also at 1 Omega Terrace in 1881 - there were several households sharing in a house that is now worth £4.5million!
