This octagonal building is one of two former guardrooms on the Royal Arsenal site. The wall behind is the present Thames flood defence; in earlier times this building would have been on the riverbank. The buildings date from 1814 and are Grade 2 listed and on the English Heritage 'buildings at risk register'.
