St John's Lodge

St John's Lodge is a residence in Regent's Park that dates from the early 19th century and underwent significant architectural modifications by notable architects. The building combines elements from different periods and shows the layers of renovations that have shaped its appearance.

The house was founded in 1819 and underwent subsequent modifications by several respected architects. These changes made it an important example of how architectural trends evolved during the 19th century.

The gardens display classical statues from Greek mythology set among rose beds and a sunken lawn. This green setting has reflected the tastes of the various residents who have cared for the house over time.

The residence remains private and is not open to the public, but the surrounding gardens can be visited. An entrance through the Arbour Walk allows visitors to explore the green areas of the park.

The house belongs to a very small group of villas that remain from John Nash's original plan for the park. This rarity makes it a valuable witness to how Regent's Park was first conceived.
