Nuffield Lodge, Grade I listed Regency villa in Regent's Park, London, United Kingdom
Nuffield Lodge is a Grade I listed Regency villa located in Regent's Park in Westminster. The main residence sits on a four-acre property that includes ornamental gardens, stables, an annexe building, and decorative garden structures positioned along the Grand Union Canal.
The villa was designed by architect Decimus Burton and built between 1822 and 1824 as Grove House for geologist George Bellas Greenough. It later passed to artist Sigismund Goetze in the early 20th century, who renamed and refurbished the property.
The interior contains murals created by artist Sigismund Goetze after he acquired the property at auction in 1907. His artistic additions remain visible throughout the rooms and connect the villa to early 20th-century art circles.
The property underwent major restoration work in 2014 that involved complete removal and replacement of the original roof structure. This extensive maintenance work has preserved the building's integrity for visitors to experience.
The villa retains its original Regency period design elements and stands as one of the least altered residences in Regent's Park. This architectural continuity makes it a rare example of original design preservation within a changing urban landscape.
