The Cremorne Gates / RBKC


These were at an entrance to Cremorne Gardens, a popular pleasure gardens in Chelsea between 1845-1877 (closed due to complaints about disorderly behaviour). The gates are made mostly of cast iron and weigh about 8 tonnes. Now restored and situated in a small but pleasant remnant of the original gardens. Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea, London.
