Londoner #22 | Ted Roberts, a cheeky Chelsea Pensioner takes us inside the Royal Hospital

Meet Ted, a Chelsea Pensioner and self pronounced ‘naughty boy’! How to enjoy life after service is a perennial question for our armed forces, but Ted has found the answer. Visitors to London’s stylish Chelsea neighbourhood may have seen these dignified former servicemen and women padding up and down the King’s Road, or in the stands at the cup final at Wembley. Ted is a real Londoner (with an eye for mischief) enjoying a palatial retirement in the heart of the London establishment at the Royal Hospital.
