Description

Avenue Studios is a historic location with a rich past, said to have been the site of Henry VIII's stables and later used as a studio and foundry by Baron Carlo Marochetti, Queen Victoria's favorite sculptor. The studio was also home to other renowned artists and sculptors, including Sir Alfred Gilbert, who created Eros, and Sir Edwin Landseer, who cast the lions at the base of Nelson's Column. The space was later divided into smaller studios, attracting a new wave of artists, including Charles Lutyens, Joseph Boehm, and John Singer Sargent, as well as the Suffragettes, who operated a secret press from the cellar of one of the buildings. The enclave, known as Sydney Place, takes its name from Viscount Sydney, a trustee of Henry Smith's Charity.
