Glebe Place
Glebe Place is a street in Chelsea, London. It runs roughly north to south from King's Road to the crossroads with Upper Cheyne Row, where it becomes Cheyne Row, leading down to Cheyne Walk and the River Thames. It also has a junction with Bramerton Street. The street was known as Cook's Ground for some period up to the mid-nineteenth century.[1]
Notable buildings
36, 37 and 38 Glebe Place, an early to mid-19th century terrace are grade II listed houses.[2]
50 Glebe Place looks much older, but was actually built between 1985-87 for the advertiser Frank Lowe[3] and described in The London Compendium as a folly.[4]
Glebe House, with a Georgian facade, but completely rebuilt inside, contains 13 artworks commissioned from the Georgian artist Tamara Kvesitadze.[5]
West House is a Queen Anne revival house at 35 Glebe Place, built in 1868–69 by the architect Philip Webb, on behalf of the artist George Price Boyce.
