Information About

Cheyne Walk




Cheyne Walk (pronounced Chaynee) is an historic street in Chelsea , a bit of "picturesque old London". Most of the houses were built in the early Eighteenth Century . Before the construction in the Nineteenth Century of the busy Thames Embankment , which now runs in front of it, the houses fronted the River Thames .

Today, Cheyne Walk forms part of the A3212 and A3220 trunk roads; it extends eastwards from the southern end of Finborough Road past the Battersea and Albert Bridge s, after which the A3212 becomes Chelsea Embankment .

East of the Walk are the gardens of the Apothecaries' Company , with their famous cedars.

Many famous people have lived (and continue to live) in the Walk.
