Cheyne Row

It runs roughly north to south from the crossroads with Upper Cheyne Row, where it becomes Glebe Place, leading down to a t-junction with Cheyne Walk which forms an embankment of the River Thames.

It was named after Charles Cheyne, 1st Viscount Newhaven (c. 1624–1698) who purchased the manor of Chelsea in Middlesex, then a rural village.

[2] The grade II listed Roman Catholic parish church, Church of Our Most Holy Redeemer and St Thomas More, Chelsea is on the corner of Cheyne Row and Upper Cheyne Row.

It was later home to the actor and writer Thea Holme (1904–1980), who moved there when her husband became the house's curator.

By 1921, the American historian Hope Emily Allen was living at 116 Cheyne Row with her friend, the scientist-artist Marietta Pallis.
