Lowther Lodge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lowther Lodge is a house in South Kensington, London immediately south of Hyde Park. It was designed by Richard Norman Shaw and built between approximately 1872 and 1975. It is an important example of Victorian Queen Anne architecture, with gothic influences. The client was William Lowther, an MP who was a nephew of the Earl of Lonsdale, the head of the Lowther landowning family of Cumberland. The house was sold to the Royal Geographical Society, which converted it into its headquarters, commissioning extensions from G. L. Kennedy and F. B. Nightingale in 1928 to 1930.
