Rotunda

Royal Borough of Greenwich, GB

The Rotunda on Woolwich Common, in south-east London, was originally a 24-sided wooden structure designed by the architect John Nash. Intended as a temporary building, it was erected on the grounds of Carlton House in 1814 for use as an additional reception room for the many events hosted there by t

he Prince Regent in celebration of the allied victory over Napoleon. The first event held in the structure was the Wellington Fête of 21 July 1814, a grand entertainment in honour of the Duke of Wellington. It is a Grade II* listed building.
