In 1834 Thomas and Jane Carlyle left Scotland to live in London and here in Cheyne Row they lived for the rest of their lives. Jane died in 1866 and Thomas in 1881. The house and its contents were acquired by a memorial trust in 1895 and were given to the National Trust in 1936. This is the back garden and more about it can be read here: https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/carlyles-house/features/the-garden-at-carlyles-house
