Carlyle Mansions, built in 1886, is named after the great historian and philosopher Thomas Carlyle, who lived around the corner. It is known locally as ‘Writers Block’ as it has been the home to many authors such as Henry James, Somerset Maugham, Erskine Childers and T S Eliot. It is also where Ian Fleming wrote Casino Royale, one of his famous James Bond novels. This part of ‘Old Chelsea’ is steeped in history and blue plaques, illustrating its rich heritage.
