St John's Lodge was originally built in 1818 by John Raffield. It was the second villa in the park to be occupied.
In 1847 it belonged to the wealthy and eminent Goldsmid brothers and was greatly enlarged by Charles Barry. In 1889 the lease was acquired by the 3rd Marquess of Bute, who commissioned Robert Weir Schultz to improve the garden layout.
The building was later used as a hospital for disabled officers during the First World War, it was the Headquarters of St. Dunstan's from 1921-1937 and the Institute of Archaeology 1937-58. It is now a private residence, with public access to the gardens.
Since 1994 it has been owned by the royal family of Brunei Darussalam[2] and is the London home of Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei.
