Garden House to north west of Charlton House, Charlton Road, Charlton SE7 - Greenwich
Small red brick garden house with undercroft and high pyramidal swept roof, dating from the mid to late C17 and attributed to Inigo Jones. In the 1930s the building was adapted for use as public toilets, and it was for many years redundant once they ceased in use. The Royal Greenwich Heritage Trust commissioned a condition survey and heritage assessment which informed a recently completed development project funded by Historic England. This project was designed to make the building secure and weathertight and to facilitate a meanwhile use. The Trust is considering next steps.
