London Terrace is an apartment building complex in the neighborhood of Chelsea, Manhattan, constructed by Henry Mandel, from 1929 to 1930. It occupies the entire block between 9th and 10th avenues and 23rd and 24th Street, replacing historic rowhouses on the site: the old London Terrace houses and the Chelsea Cottages.
