Abstract:		 A building survey by MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology) at Kennington Park Lodge, London SE11 4AS. The site is bounded by Kennington Park to the west, and falls within the London Borough of Lambeth. The approximate centre of the site lies at National Grid reference 531566 177901. The survey was commissioned by Ferrovial Laing O'Rourke JV to analyse and record Kennington Park Lodge. The survey took place in April 2015. Kennington Park Lodge is a two-storey brick-built lodge that was built by the London County Council between 1935 and 1938 as a dwelling for the keeper of Kennington Park. Although the building is not listed, it is located within the confines of Kennington Park, a Registered Park and Garden. A descriptive record of Kennington Park Lodge prior to demolition has been produced through on-site survey and analysis of the fabric. Recording and analysis of the fabric and construction of the building have been carried out through photography and the production of annotated drawings and notes on-site. It has been possible to describe the appearance, form and function of the building through on-site analysis. The evidence collected on-site has been supplemented by historic documentary sources. A measured plan of the ground floor was produced on-site to inform a CAD drawing. The earlier appearance and minor alterations to the building have also been discussed. Kennington Park Lodge was built by the Architects’ Department of the London County Council between 1935 and 1938 to provide accommodation for the resident park keeper. The building is a relic of a time in which the resident park keeper was a familiar figure in public parks, and was occupied by the superintendent of Kennington Park until the position was abolished. The plan of the lodge has changed very little since it was completed in the late 1930s and, despite the addition of UPVC doors, metal grilles to the window openings and a window opening on the north elevation, its appearance has not altered significantly either. The window openings on the east elevation that belong to the living room and the parlour feature unusual hinges, which were designed to allow the window to open fully and rest directly against the exterior wall.
