Description

Hanover Gate Lodge is a grade II* listed gate lodge located on an island site in Regent's Park, built around 1822-23 by John Nash as part of his Regent's Park Crown Estate development. The lodge features channelled stucco and painted stone, topped with a leaded pyramidal roof that rises to a central octagonal chimney stack. It has a square plan with chamfered corners, creating an unusual and picturesque monumental design. The building stands two storeys tall, with a doorway and one window on each side, although two of the windows are blind. The chamfered corners are extended on the ground floor to form semi-circular arched niches, two of which contain statues. Above these projections, pairs of boldly scrolled inverted stone consoles rise from a blocking course to support the first floor, which is adorned with a swag between. The lodge is capped with a dentil cornice. The gates have been removed.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 51% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
