Cromwell House, Renaissance Grade I listed building in Highgate Village, London Borough of Haringey, England
The three-story brick structure features a mansard roof with dormer windows, decorated with an octagonal lead cupola and classical architectural elements.
Sir Richard Sprignell commissioned the construction of this residence in 1637, which was completed in 1638 during the early Stuart period in England.
The grand oak staircase contains intricate wooden carvings depicting military figures from the Stuart period, representing 17th-century English craftsmanship.
The building now functions as the visa section of the Republic of Ghana, providing consular services to visitors and residents in London.
The earliest recorded use of the name Cromwell House appears in the 1809 Holden London Directory, despite no direct connection to Oliver Cromwell.
