Chelsea Square Garden
It's a lovely garden but it is in accessible due to under locked gates. Having checked on the council website, Chelsea Common is indeed a common therefore is meant to be accessible to the public. However it states that Chelsea Common is off Cale St (SW3), therefore either this is;
1) mislabelled by Google and is or should be called Chelsea Square Gardens.
2) still Chelsea Common (which used be a much larger estate than has been reduced & split up over the years) and therefore should be publically accessible.
If it's no 1, then it is unclear as to why it's not labelled correctly and in addition it is not registered under the 1851 Act (aka private gardens where residents pay additional council tax).
In either case there needs to be clarity from the council and the relevant residents association in relation to this and it's bye laws.
This isn't the first place within the Chelsea & Fulham boroughs that claims to be private land or have restrictions that aren't accurate. If it is indeed still a common, then it is unlawful for these restrictions to be in place and quite shameful if so.
