The Rotunda, Green Hill, Woolwich Common SE18 - Greenwich
24-sided polygon, single-storey building designed by John Nash. Concave conoid roof. First erected in the grounds of Carlton House in 1814 for (premature) celebration of Allied victory in the Napoleonic Wars. The Rotunda housed the reserve collection of the 'Firepower' museum but is now vacant. The roof covering is leaking, and extensive propping works and investigations have been undertaken to stabilise the structural roof timbers prior to discussions commencing to secure the long-term future of the building.
