Chelsea artists’ studio offered for sale; most artists will be unable to afford it

Between 1850 and 1914 many artists’ studios were constructed in Kensington and Chelsea in the wake of “the pro art political climate” supported by the likes of Disraeli, Gladstone and the royal family.

The first set of purpose-built flatted studios in Chelsea was built at 76 Fulham Road in 1870. It was named ‘The Avenue’ and now one property there is for sale for £2.7 million ($3.4 million or €3 million or درهم‎‎,12.4 million) – a figure far out of the reach of the majority of artists.
