The Abney Park Temple Lodges are gatehouses to Abney Park Cemetery designed by William Hosking, to Abney Park in the London Borough of Hackney.

Augustis Pugin Jr. was famously against the non-European design of the lodges despite public fascination of Egyptology at the time. Read more on Wikipedia
