Situation
Cheyne Walk, which takes its name from William, Lord Cheyne, who owned the manor of Chelsea until 1712, has probably known more famous residents per square metre than any other thoroughfare in London.
Nos 19-26 cover the site of Henry VIIIs ancient manor house, afterwards the residence of Sir Hans Sloane. David Lloyd George lived at No.10, in a house later occupied by the cartoonist, Gerald Scarfe, while Ralph Vaughan Williams lived at No.13. The Pre- Raphaelite painter, Dante Gabriel Rossetti lived at No.16, where he was banned from keeping peacocks because they made too much noise.
James Whistler lived at various houses in Cheyne Walk and the American novelist Henry James spent his last years in a flat there Sir Marc Brunel who designed the Thames Tunnel, lived at number 98 and JMW Turner died at number 118. After leaving university, the suffragette, Sylvia Pankhurst lived at No.120. The footballer, George Best, once had a flat in the same house. Keith Richards lived at No.3 and Mick Jagger was at No.48 in 1968.
