Crosby Hall is a historic and a beautiful building at Chelsea Embankment road near River Thames. This is the most important surviving secular domestic medieval building in London, Sir John Crosby’s great hall has on several occasions been snatched from the brink of demolition, which after a 400-year gap, it is being incorporated back into a private house. Built in Bishopsgate between 1466 and 1475 for rich City merchant Sir John Crosby, it was later purchased by Sir Thomas More and now is located at the site of More’s Chelsea garden. #Crosby_Hall #Crosby_Hall_London

Ensconced since 1910 on this site, the acclaimed historic hall (facing away from Ropers Garden), the principal component in an aggregate of meticulously crafted ‘facsimile’Tudor buildings and garden. The entire enterprise; materials techniques and craftsmanship conjuring the Tudor ethos. A dedicated labour of love.* A private residence, the public not admitted. The breathtaking entrance hinting at the scale of the accomplishment here. * see online articles and pictures.

Crosby Hall is an historic building in London. The Great Hall was built in 1466 and originally stood in Bishopsgate, in the City of London, but was moved in 1910 to its present site in Cheyne Walk, Chelsea. It now forms part of a private residence. The Great Hall, and additional work of 1910 and 1925–1926, are listed Grade II*. Although fragmentary and not on its original site, this is the only example of a medieval City merchant house surviving in London.

1986... A large wedding party left behind a large wheel of stilton. My mum and I chanced to stumble on the cluttered banquet table several hours after the guests were gone and no one was about to clean up. We wrapped that wheel in napkins and immediately took it upstairs to our room😂

This must be the most beautiful building in London. The motto written upon the gates is Meritum Pertinacia Fortitudo Fidelitas (Latin for Merit Persistence Courage and Loyalty), and I would say the building very much lives up to those words. This is the most stunning example of Tudor architecture in London.

I worked in crosby hall, making and installing panelling and interiors on the 5th and 6th floors ( if my memory serves?! ) and being part of the team that made and installed a six storey carved staircase, for which the company that i worked for won an award! A great building! Great work to be a part of!

Aesthetically pleasing grade 2 listed building. Originally erected at Bishopsgate in 1466. At one time it was the residence of Sir Thomas More, whose statue now resides a couple of minutes walk further along Cheyne Walk. Moved and rebuilt brick by brick to it's present location facing The Thames in 1910. It is not open to the public! In close proximity to Ropers Gardens, Sir Thomas More's Gardens, Albert Bridge, Albert Bridge Gardens, Chelsea Embankment Gardens, Battersea Bridge, Battersea Park, Battersea Park Zoo, Chelsea Physic Gardens, Ranelagh Gardens, Lister Hospital, Meadowbank Nature Reserve, Grosvenor Canal, King's Road, Sloane Square, and Pimlico.

Love the architecture of this building and often stop to have a look. Dates from 1466 but was originally in Bishopgate. It was moved brick by brick from its original home to its present site .

I enjoyed runing through here evey week. Nice view of River Thames.
