The Rotunda on Woolwich Common, in south-east London, was a public artillery museum was established in 1820. The building was originally a very large bell tent erected in St. James’s Park in 1814 for a special exhibition and premature victory reception of the allied sovereigns in the Napoleonic Wars but its architect John Nash turned it into a permanent structure with a lead roof and central supporting pillar. Since most of its exhibits were transferred to the Firepower museum in about 2003, the Rotunda has ceased to be open to the public, except by special arrangement. This building is listed grade II* and on the English Heritage ‘buildings at risk register’ as its future seems uncertain. (Source: Wikipedia).
