It was transferred to the National Trust in 1936. It contains the Carlyles' furniture, pictures, books and other possessions, and behind the house is their Victorian walled garden.

The house is now known as No. 24 Cheyne Row (No. 5 at Carlyle's time) ." - See London Gardens ** "The Chelsea Society was founded in 1927, by the Chelsea historian and author Reginald Blunt, with the aim of protecting the historic fabric of Chelsea and of influencing future environmental changes.

The Society has organised debates and discussions about the area." - See Wikipedia .
