The Lodge is a Grade II listed building located on a private communal garden at the centre of a gated enclave of housing built in the late C19th on the former site of Hampstead Wells spa. <br /><br />In 1698, six acres of swampy ground that contained chalybeate water were donated to the 'poor of Hampstead' by the then Lords of the Manor, the Gainsborough family. Hampstead Wells was a popular spa in the early C18th and contributed to the area's development as a fashionable place of residence. <br /><br />The houses and communal garden were laid out by the Wells and Campden Charity from the 1880s, covering part of the former pleasure grounds where a bowling green and ornamental pond had been, the site of the latter visible in the lawn. Today the lawns are surrounded by shrubberies with a wide variety of plants and mature trees. A path runs round the edge with a number of small pergolas marking entrances to the gardens.
