Home to the Royal Ballet Lower School since 1955, White Lodge was built in 1730 as a hunting lodge. Over the years it has been called New Lodge and Stone Lodge and boasts a succession of royalty and Prime Ministers as former inhabitants. Queen Victoria came to live here in 1861 with Prince Albert, while she was mourning the death of her mother, the Duchess of Kent.

Lovely views from the top of the rise out over the park and lake. Likely to see some deer wandering in the distance.
