Originally the site of South Villa, built in 1816-17 probably to a design by Decimus Burton, only the Georgian Lodge remains. The main house survived into the 20th century. However, use by Bedford College, a university for women founded in 1880s, resulted in many changes and the addition of other educational buildings, including a library by SRJ Smith in 1908. Bedford College moved out to Egham in 1985 and the premises were taken over by Regent’s University instead, also for educational purposes.
