Lowther Lodge is a house in South Kensington, London, England, immediately south of Hyde Park, which has housed the Royal Geographical Society since 1912.
Lowther Lodge was designed by Richard Norman Shaw and built between approximately 1872 and 1875.
After Lowther died in 1912, his son sold the house[1] to the Royal Geographical Society.
A further extension, including a new exhibition space, reading room and storage area for the Society's collections, was completed in 2004.
The building is an important example of Victorian Queen Anne architecture, with gothic influences.
