Lowther Lodge, Victorian mansion in South Kensington, England.
The red brick Lowther Lodge features Queen Anne style architecture with gothic influences, distinguished by its decorative chimneys and detailed woodwork throughout the interior.
William Lowther, a Member of Parliament and nephew of the Earl of Lonsdale, commissioned architect Richard Norman Shaw to design this residence between 1872 and 1875.
The Royal Geographical Society acquired Lowther Lodge in 1912, transforming the private residence into a center for geographical research and education in London.
Located at 1 Kensington Gore opposite Hyde Park, the building offers spaces for conferences of 400 people and lectures for 750 attendees.
The building contained one of the first passenger elevators installed in a private London residence during the Victorian period.
