Chigwell Hall is a Grade II listed^[1] Manor House in Chigwell, Essex. It is situated on Roding Lane within 42 acres of grounds.^[2] It was designed by the English architect Richard Norman Shaw - his only house in Essex^[3] - and was completed in 1876. Shaw's client was Alfred Savill, founder of the Savills estate agency.{{sfn|Bettley|Pevsner|2007|pp=229-230}} It has been owned by the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) since 1967 and is the current site of the force's sports and social club.^[4]

Chigwell Hall is located on High Road, Chigwell, and is opposite to the Kings Head,^[2] a 17th-century public house made famous by Charles Dickens, who used it as a basis for The Maypole, a tavern in his novel Barnaby Rudge.^[5] As well as being the residence of the Metropolitan Police's sports and social club, the house is also used for business functions, wedding ceremonies, and is the venue of a restaurant.^[2]

Pevsner describes the hall as "especially good, surprising in its freshness and looking as it might well [have been built] twenty-five years later".{{sfn|Bettley|Pevsner|2007|pp=229-230}}
