Mount Clare is a Grade I listed house built in 1772 in Minstead Gardens, Roehampton, in the London Borough of Wandsworth.

The architect was Sir Robert Taylor,^[1] and the house was enlarged with a portico and other enrichments in 1780 by Placido Columbani. It was Grade I listed on 14 July 1955.^[1]

The house was built for the politician George Clive^[2] and the gardens were landscaped by Lancelot "Capability" Brown.^[3]

Notable residents

Clive died in 1779. Subsequent residents have included:

1780–1804: Sir John Dick,^[3] British Consul at Leghorn,^[2] who died at the house on 2 December 1804^[4]
1807–19: the chemist Charles Hatchett FRS, who discovered the element niobium^[3]
1830–32: Humphrey St John-Mildmay, sixth son of the third Baronet, and Member of Parliament for Southampton^[3]
1840–46: Admiral of the Fleet Sir Charles Ogle, 2nd Baronet^[3]
1874–1908: Hugh Colin Smith, Governor of the Bank of England.^[3] Smith's stockbroker descendants lived in the house until 1945.^[3]

Requisition in 1945 and subsequent use

The house was requisitioned by Wandsworth Borough Council in 1945. In 1963 it became a hall of residence for Garnett College, the UK's only dedicated lecturer-training college. Garnett College became part of Woolwich Polytechnic, then Thames Polytechnic, then the University of Greenwich.

Today, Mount Clare is owned by the Southlands Methodist Trust^[5] and used as a hall of residence for the University of Roehampton.^[3]
