Ingress Abbey, English country house in Greenhithe, England.
The Jacobethan-style Grade II listed building features stone walls, Gothic elements, and large windows overlooking expansive grounds near the Thames River.
Construction of the current mansion began in 1833 by James Harmer, incorporating materials from the Old London Bridge during its demolition period.
James Harmer, owner of the Weekly Dispatch newspaper and resident of Ingress Abbey, influenced Charles Dickens who based the character Jaggers on him.
The building now functions as an honorary consulate of Lithuania, with restricted public access to its interior spaces and surrounding gardens.
The estate includes hidden follies and grottoes, including the Cave of the Seven Heads constructed with stones from medieval London Bridge.
