Description
Hanover Lodge is a villa built around 1827 by John Nash, notable for being the only villa in Regent's Park personally designed by him for Sir Robert Arbuthnot. The upper storey was completely rebuilt, and an addition was made by Lutyens around 1909. The villa features a stucco exterior and a slate roof, and it is approached by a drive from Park Road, with its main front facing the Outer Circle. The design is Grecian, highlighted by an Ionic portico-loggia. The building has two storeys and is five windows wide, with a slightly recessed two-window extension to the south. The park front includes a central, one-storey, tetrastyle Ionic columned loggia, which is now glazed-in, along with an entablature and blocking course. The windows are recessed sashes set in shallow architraves, and there is a plinth, a first-floor plat band, and a cornice below the parapet. The additions made for Bedford College are not considered of special interest.
