Sloane Square and South Kensington are both within easy reach for the District/Circle (and Piccadilly from South Ken). Riverside walks on the doorstep, as well as the open spaces around the Royal Hospital Chelsea and Battersea Park is just across the river.<br/><br/><b>Charles Robert Ashbee And Cheyne Walk</b> - Nos. 39 and 40 Cheyne Walk were designed around 1900 by Charles Robert Ashbee, an important figure in the Arts and Crafts movement. He lived next door at No. 37 making his link to this stretch of Cheyne Walk both professional and personal. Ashbee was known not only as an architect, but also for his work in jewellery, furniture and metalwork, and was admired for bringing craftsmanship and artistic integrity into every aspect of design. He was one of the leading designers of his time, and his connection to this part of Cheyne Walk adds another layer of interest to these distinctive buildings (Oxford Reference, “Charles Robert Ashbee”).<br/><br/>
