The lodge was built at the foot of Denmark Hill by Thomas de Crespigny in 1717.[1] Philip Champion de Crespigny (1704 - 1765) began leasing the house around 1741 and purchased it in 1755, renaming it Champion Lodge.[2][3] The Prince of Wales visited the lodge in 1804 and Claude Champion de Crespigny (1734 - 1818), son of Philip, the then owner of the house, was made a baronet in 1805.[3]
The lodge, which was originally surrounded by a 30-acre park, was demolished in 1841.[3] It was roughly at the junction of where Love Walk meets Denmark Hill today.[1]
