Chelsea Pub history index
In Cremorne road in 1869 and 1874; the 1851 census and 1856 directory refer to Cremorne House; and in 1861 census listed as the Cremorne Tap. There is a building on the 1865 OS map by the embankment entrance of Cremorne Gardens. Although it is not marked as a pub in 1865, the position and size matches that of the Cremorne Arms in all later maps and so I am guessing that this building is what became the Cremorne Arms. The pleasure gardens closed in 1877 and the later Lots, Cremorne and other Roads were constructed. *
