The Blues will put on an exhibition for local residents on Tuesday where supporters will be able to examine the club’s stunning architectural plans for the future.
The historic design of the stadium plan, which features large brick pillars, has been inspired by Westminster Abbey.
Abramovich had explored the possibility of relocating, but is understood to have made the decision to stay at Stamford Bridge in 2013.
He appointed a team experts including architects, strategic planners and structural engineers to work on the plan over the past two years.
The Russian billionaire will finance the entire rebuilding of the stadium, which is almost certain to cost in excess of £500m, the Daily Mail reports.
While planning is still in its early stages, the scale of the redevelopment could cause the Blues to have to relocate to a temporary stadium for as long as three seasons.
Wembley and Twickenham are just two of the possible venues which could cater to Chelsea’s needs.
