Anyway, good to see the Lodge itself (The former mayors residence) is being restored with lottery funding and the help of heritage for London.


I'm not sure any mayors have lived there. Stanstead Lodge was built in the early 1840s and the occupants are well recorded. The closest to a mayor living there was in 1949 when the house was opened as the Darby and Joan Club by Queen Mary, attended by the 84 year old Mayor of Lewisham, Alderman John Thomas Cummings, and Herbert Morrison.
