Grove House was designed by Decimus Burton and built by James Burton. It was completed about 1823. The house was occupied as a private house apart from a significant period in 20th century when it was used by the Nuffield Foundation, during which time it was renamed Nuffield Lodge. One of the significant occupants was the artist Sigismund Goetze, who used the stable block which fronts onto Prince Albert Road close to the St John’s Wood roundabout, where there is a large statue donated by Goetze.
