More about this scene
Close to the underground station are two major historic buildings. Behind the high brick wall to the extreme right of the photograph is Southgate House of the late 18th century, built in the form of a neo-classical villa by Samuel Pole; a short distance along the Bourne is Grovelands, a beautiful house designed by John Nash in 1797, and still within its own park, which has connections to Repton. In the 1980s there was considerable concern for the future of this house, but as if in the nick of time it was bought, restored and converted to hospital use. The price tag for the restoration was a fairly large addition to the building, but this has weathered in well. Grovelands achieved a certain notoriety in the late 1990s by playing host to General Pinochet.
