About Chelsea Building Society

Chelsea Building Society’s establishment goes back to 1875.

It was at the same time that the Camberwell and South London Building Society were formed and three years later, in 1878, the Borough of Chelsea Permanent Building Society was created.

These societies amalgamated with other smaller societies and in 1966 the two societies merged to form a new credit union society with assets of £36 million.
