Grovelands Park

[3] Lucinda Lambton has called the building an "idiosyncratically flounced, classical villa", and mentions that the owner bought much of the parkland to avoid the sight of other people's chimneys.

She goes on to describe the interior: "Inside, there survives one of the most delicate delights in all London: Nash's octagonal dining-room, painted as if you are in a bamboo birdcage, looking out through the bars at the fields, woods and sky.

[5] Grovelands Park was designated Grade II* Listed in October 1987,[1] and has been on Historic England's Heritage at Risk Register since 2009.

A "historic environment assessment" commissioned by the Enfield London Borough Council in 2008, provided priorities and guidelines for landowners when carrying out "repairs and restoration".

[6] In 2013 Enfield Council revealed several concepts to improve the park, including refurbishing existing sports facilities, opening up disused land owned by Thames Water, and the provision of a new primary school.
