A Fancy Loo



Tucked away behind the bushes near Marble Arch is this little gem of a building.  Cumberland Gate Lodge has had a very varied life, moving sites as bigger and "better" things were wanted where it stood.  The last move was to make way for the arch (Marble Arch).  It then became a rather fancy public loo for the well heeled of Park Lane.  The clock and windows were added later.  It was moved to it's current quiet private location in 1961.

I was wondering that too Mo, is it still a posh working loo, or even just a working loo :)

With all those bushes, do they really need a loo?

Oh. Excuse me.
