This Queen Anne house is a part of a terrace in a peaceful backwater in old Chelsea and was home to Thomas Carlyle from 1834 until his loss of life in 1881. Thomas Carlyle was a well known writer, essayist and historian who entertained many literary figures here such as Charles Dickens, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Chopin and George Eliot. His works consist of The French Revolution. The property was changed into a art gallery in 1895 and it is obvious that much of his furnishings, books and other belongings are still in position these days. There is also a enchanting little Victorian walled yard.Located at: 24 Cheyne Row, Chelsea, SW35HL
