Royal Hyde Park Residence For Rent!

New Lodge (c) Evening Standard
Yes, believe it or not but a residence in the very heart of Hyde Park will be on available to rent from September! Evening Standard reveals that altogether 5 rentals in London royal parks have already been rented out, and 3 more will be available shortly.
New Lodge in Hyde Park will be rented out by a Knight Frank letting agent. The weekly rent for the 5-bedroom 3-storey house built in 1876 is £4,950. It has a large private garden that will be maintained by park ground staff. Tenants will have their own key to the park gates (locked at night). Royal Parks chief executive Mark Camley and trustee Joel Cadbury will host a viewing for potential tenants vetted by letting agent Knight Frank. The lodge will be let on short-term lease of between 2 and 3 years.
Blackheath Gate Lodge in Greenwich Park and Richmond Gate Lodge in Richmond Park are being refurbished and will come on to the market later this autumn. 5 best ones have already been let: Prince of Wales West Lodge in Hyde Park; Queen’s Gate Lodge in Kensington Gardens; 2 lodges in Regent’s Park; and a flat in Bushy Park.
We won’t hold our breath for the chance of seeing the Hyde Park rental advertised anywhere…
