Chigwell Hall

[4] The building and grounds have been owned by the Metropolitan Police Service since 1967 and is the current site of the force's sports and social club.

In 1881 Savill decided to abandon the older house and moved into Chigwell Hall.

[6] It is located on High Road, Chigwell, near to the Kings Head,[2] a 17th-century public house made famous by Charles Dickens who used it as a basis for The Maypole Inn, for his novel Barnaby Rudge.

[7] As well as being the residence of the Metropolitan Police's sports and social club, Chigwell Hall is also used for business functions, wedding ceremonies, and is the venue of a restaurant.

[2] The Pevsner Architectural Guides describes the hall as "especially good, surprising in its freshness and looking as it might well [have been built] twenty-five years later".
