Thanks for the picture, I like to see what kind of house it was.

I've found a similar story with her sister now.  In 1911 she is also a single woman age 29 with 2 children with private means and as if those similarities weren't enough one of the children was also born in London  :o

Poddling along with this one and got the birth for the child born in London which actually does have a fathers name and is written as if the couple were married.

Place of birth is Clevedon Chesham Road Kingston and the date was 3 Jan 1905.  Mother registers the birth and gives the same address.

Would Clevedon be the name of a house?  I am not familiar with this area at all. 

Am now looking for signs of the father in that area. 

His name was Frank George Chambers commercial traveller.

The Chelsea address suggests a degree of affluence.
Not necessarily. OH has rellies in Sydney Street about that time. Big houses, but split up and rented out to families. Different family on each of the floors (or an extended family rent the whole house) . Certainly not an indication of money by itself.
