Argyll House is a historic building in Chelsea, London. It is named after John Campbell, 4th Duke of Argyll, who lived there during the last two years of his life from 1769 to 1770. The house was built in the early 18th century and is located at the corner of the King's Road and Oakley Street. It is a Grade II* Listed building, owing to its historic significance and Palladian dimensions, designed by Giacomo Leoni. It was built in 1723 soon after Londoners had successfully petitioned the King to allow them to use what had previously been his private road. Argyll House is located next door to a number of other listed buildings including 213 and 215 King's Road and 217 King's Road. It is believed that Wallis Simpson was first introduced to the future King Edward VIII at Argyll House in 1935.
