Rossetti Studios Gain Listed Status

English Heritage has acknowledged Rossetti Studios' distinctive architecture and is now a Grade II listed building after lobbying by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. This means the studio cannot have any significant changes if sold to a new owner.

"It is gratifying that English Heritage has agreed with our planning officers that the Rossetti Studios are an outstanding piece example of artist studios", said Deputy Leader of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Daniel Moylan.

The studios were once home to the Chelsea Art School and once housed photographer Ronald Traeger, who famously photographed Twiggy in the early 60s.
