….thanks to Norm for hosting Thursday Doors
All these doors are in the South Kensington area of London. The Queens Gate Lodge was owned by the Museum of Natural History and was built in 1883 to accommodate an engineer and messenger who worked at the museum. This tiny 2-bedroom house sits in Hyde Park just inside the Queen’s Gate and can be yours for a mere 6 706 000 pounds. When I first saw the sign at the gate to the house I actually thought that it belonged to the Queen. It wasn’t till I returned home and started to research the place that I discovered that the place was named after the famous gate that leads into the park and has nothing to do with Her Majesty.







My word, even though it has nothing to do with the queen, it’s still so pricey. Lovely photos.

Apparently there are numerous homes in the Park. The average price is about 7 million pounds but I suspect they are quite a bit bigger than this one.

A little beyond of my budget 😉
But sure pretty to look at.

Definitely beyond my budget. Houses in general are very expensive in London. A flat can easily put you back a million pounds.

The price tag is a little … ummm … steep, but it would sound rather impressive to say “I live at the Queen’s Gate Lodge” 🙂

I was actually disappointed that it didn’t belong to the Queen but then why would she own anything so small.
