"Putney Park Lane may be a remnant of a medieval lane which once provided access to The Pleasance, the site of the Archbishop of Canterbury's Putney Park hunting lodge. The lane was laid out by the early 18th century as a formal tree-lined drive for a house built on the site of the former hunting lodge. It later became the access to a number of grand houses built here including Granard House, Putney Park House and Dover House ... Putney Park Lane is now maintained as public open space by the Borough of Wandsworth" http://www.parkexplorer.org.uk/park_intro.asp?ID=wnd21 . The lane is seen here from its southern end on Putney Heath.
