The Rotunda, Green Hill, Woolwich, London, SE18 4BW

Description
The Rotunda is located adjacent to the Napier Lines Barracks, part of the wider Royal Artillery Barracks. It is contained within its own compound area set on an artificially raised mound.
The Rotunda was originally constructed as a bell tent in 1814. It was moved to its current location and rebuilt as a permanent structure in 1819. The building is currently vacant, however we understand it has previously been used as a military museum and a boxing ring.
The building is of traditional construction with brick elevations and timber framed roof weathered in lead and arranged over one floor. The main section comprises a 24-sided polygon shaped room beneath the ‘tent’ style roof. There is a rear extension at the north face of the building with a plant room attached. There is a small gatehouse-style outbuilding located at the entrance to the Rotunda compound.

Location
The site is located immediately north of Repository Road, adjacent to King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery Barracks at Green Hill, Woolwich, London, SE18 4BW, which currently forms part of the wider Royal Artillery Barracks site. The site is located outside of the secure perimeter fence to the main RAB. It is located north of Green Hill Road, which bends round to the north west of the Site. The Site has its own access route and car parking immediately to the south of the building, and there is a residential area located to the north and northeast of the site. The surrounding area is primarily owned and used by the Ministry of Defence.
