In the film Withnail and I, this house was used as Uncle Monty's Chelsea town house. It was built in 1868/69 to the design of Philip Speakman Webb in a “vernacular domestic astylar eclectisism” for the pre-raphaelite artist G.P. Boyce. The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings was founded here. The house has recently (2011) been bought for £20million: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/property/propertynews/8886517/Gucci-boss-pays-20-million-for-two-bedroom-house.html
