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 the 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.
