Cremorne Gardens, Victorian pleasure garden in Chelsea, England.
The gardens extended along the Thames riverbank, containing a theater, dance platforms, restaurants, and multiple entertainment venues for London society.
The property transformed from Chelsea Farm estate into public gardens in 1845 under James Ellis, operating until local pressure forced closure in 1877.
The gardens attracted visitors from all social classes to experience concerts, theatrical performances, firework displays, and outdoor dancing throughout the Victorian period.
Visitors reached the gardens through Kings Road entrance or via steamboat services that stopped at the dedicated Cremorne Pier during summer evenings.
A performer crossed the River Thames on a tightrope to reach Cremorne Gardens in 1861, drawing large crowds to witness this dangerous spectacle.
