CREMORNE GARDENS, formerly a popular resort by the Thames in Chelsea, London, England. The earl of Huntingdon (c. 1750), built a mansion here, which passed into the hands of Thomas Dawson, Baron Dartrey and Viscount Cremorne (1725— 1813), who greatly beautified it. It was sold and converted into a place of entertainment, being popular as such from 1845 to 1877. It was later closed down and the site of the gardens was built over. The name survives in Cremorne Road.
