Paradise Walk

Chelsea (SW3) Formerly Paradise Row. A very dirty, narrow little passage which runs parallel to Tite Street. In it was a theatre built by the poet Shelley. At one time private theatricals were held here, but when money was taken at the door, even though it was in behalf of a charity, the performances were suspended. Here lived the Duchess of Mazarin, sister to the famous Cardinal. The Duke of St. Albans, Nell Gwynne's son, also had a house in Paradise Row. (Chelsea, G. E. Mitton, ed. Besant, p. 18, 20, 22)
