Elm Park Road is a street in Chelsea, London. It runs roughly west to east from Park Walk, crossing Beaufort Street and The Vale, among others.

In 1875, Chelsea Park House was demolished, and Park Road was extended across the empty site to Park Place (now Park Walk), and the street was renamed Elm Park Road. [1] Most of the houses were built from 1875 to 1882, and much was designed by George Godwin. [1]

Abney Park is in Stoke Newington, London, England. It is a 13-hectare (32-acre) park dating from just before 1700, named after Lady Abney, the wife of Sir Thomas Abney, Lord Mayor of London in 1700 and one of the first directors of the Bank of England and associated with Isaac Watts, who laid out an arboretum. In the early 18th century it was accessed via the frontages and gardens of two large mansions: her own manor house and Fleetwood House. Both fronted onto Church Street in what was then a quiet mainly Nonconformist (non-Anglican) village. In 1840, the grounds were turned into Abney Park Cemetery, where 200,000 people were buried. Since 1978, the grounds have served as a cemetery open only to burials in a few remaining paid-up plots; an enclosed woodland park and events venue open to the public managed by the London Borough of Hackney, and since 1993, as a Local Nature Reserve, too.
