Blacklands Terrace was the location of the house and estate of Blacklands.

The house of Blacklands was situated at the southern end of Sloane Avenue with, in 1771, 89 acres of land.

Blacklands was owned by Charles Cheyne (Viscount Newhaven) before he purchased the Manor of Chelsea. The area around Cadogan Square was known as Blacklands from at least the sixteenth century.
