Rossetti’s House: Cheyne Walk
The  gate to Queen’s house is superb, in this photo you can see details of  the arched bar with the monogram of the first owner, Richard Chapman,and  the lanterns. The iron work is exceptional, one of the finest examples  in Chelsea.Dante Gabriel Rossetti lived with his brother William and  poet Algernon C. Swinburne. Rosetti’s residence in Cheyne Walk annoyed  his neighbours, as he kept a menagerie of unusual animals, including  wombats, parrots, an armadillo and peacocks. In the late 1960’s Keith  Richards lived in a house in this terrace (No 3) I imagine that he  annoyed neighbours too.
Tudor House. I’ve been there.

someday i will have a wrought iron gate exactly like this one.
