Repository Woods
Summary
Repository Woods is a 7 acres (2.8 ha) deciduous woodland area to the west of the British Army's Woolwich Garrison in the Royal Borough of Greenwich in southeast London. Created in the early 19th century as a purpose-built training landscape for the Royal Military Repository, it combined practical artillery training grounds with pleasure gardens open to the public. The site is designated at Grade II as the UK's earliest known purpose-built military training landscape. Its features include training and practice earthworks, a stream and man-made lake system, and terraces. A Rotunda, designed by John Nash in 1814, stands at the eastern boundary.
