Moatlands Manor House Now the clubhouse for the Kent National Golf & Country Club, the nineteenth century house was once home to the Lord Mayor of London. A correspondent tells me that she was born here in 1945; during the war it was used as a maternity home for Guys, Lewisham and Plumsted hospitals. Seen from Waterman's Lane.
