London Terrace is an apartment building complex in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City.

[3][6] The location was selected by investor Henry Mandel due to the short walk to midtown Manhattan offices, as a way to provide modern low-priced housing for "white collar" workers.

[1] When the complex was complete in November 1930, the population of the block increased from approximately 400 to roughly 5,000, making better use of the valuable real estate.

[11] The complex included restaurants, swimming pool, gymnasium, and a "modernistic garage with club rooms for both patrons and chauffeurs".

[12] At the 1932 London Terrace Christmas party, Yankees baseball legend Babe Ruth dressed as Santa Claus and distributed gifts to hundreds of children.

White & Sons credited this to four factors: the opening of the Independent Subway System's Eighth Avenue Line station at 23rd Street (hosting the current A, ​C, and ​E trains of the New York City Subway[15]); lowered rental prices; advertising campaigns; and addition of facilities available to residents without charge.

All London Terrace residents are still able to enjoy amenities such as the swimming pool, health club, roof deck,[16] and internal garden.
