Royal Avenue is a garden square in Chelsea, London.

The street runs between the King's Road and St Leonard's Terrace.

History

Royal Avenue was laid out in the 1690s by William III with the intention that it form part of a proposed carriage way between the Hospital with Kensington Palace.[1] As the middle of the square was enclosed by a hedge and a small white fence, by 1748 it was known as White Stile Walk.[1]

No.30 has been home to Joseph Losey, the American film director, and his 1963 film The Servant starring Dirk Bogarde, Susannah York and Edward Fox was shot in an empty house opposite.[1]
