Trafalgar Studios, Chelsea
# Trafalgar Studios, Chelsea

Trafalgar Studios were a set of purpose-built artists' studios on Manresa Road in the Chelsea area of London, England, just off the King's Road. A number or notable artists worked there.

The three-story, 15-unit block was built in 1878 by John Brass.
