Elsewhere, monumental buildings testify of Woolwich's rich military history. [[Woolwich Common]] with its surrounding buildings has been designated a conservation area. The [[Neoclassical architecture|Neoclassical]] façade of the [[Royal Artillery Barracks]] ([[James Wyatt]], 1776–1802) is the longest façade in London, stretching along the north end of the common. Across the road, Government House (1781), was the quarters of the Garrison Commandant from 1855 to 1995. Of the nearby [[St George's Garrison Church, Woolwich|Garrison Church of St George]] only the shell remains after it was bombed during the [[Second World War]]. Its Neo-Romanesque architecture and remnants of mosaics are still impressive. [[John Nash (architect)|John Nash]]'s [[Rotunda, Woolwich|Rotunda]], a round brick building with a leaded tent roof, until 2001 housed the [[Royal Artillery Museum]] and now serves as a [[boxing ring]] for the [[King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery]] in nearby Napier Lines Barracks.<ref>{{Cite web|author=Tom Sables|date=27 November 2020|title=Is Your Military Base Closing?

The [[Royal Military Academy, Woolwich|Royal Military Academy]] at the south end of Woolwich Common was also designed by James Wyatt and has an almost equally long façade in [[Mock Tudor]] style. Other military buildings that survive include Connaught Barracks (built as the Royal Artillery Hospital in 1780), Green Hill Military School and [[Royal Herbert Hospital]] on [[Shooter's Hill]]. The Royal Engineers' HQ was moved to Chatham in 1856, but a small detachment remained in Woolwich, quartered in what is now Engineer House on Mill Hill, just off the Common. Several [[listed building]]s were demolished in the 1970s, including James Wyatt's Engineers Barracks (built for the [[Royal Military Artificers]] in 1803), [[Lewis Wyatt]]'s Grand Depot Barracks (begun in 1805-6 for the [[Train (military)|Field Train]] department), [[Royal Marine Barracks, Woolwich|Cambridge Barracks]] (1842, of which the gatehouse still stands) and [[Red Barracks, Woolwich|Red Barracks]] (1858, only the boundary wall and entrance gate remain). The latter two, on Frances Street, were originally built as the [[Royal Marine Barracks, Woolwich]] for the Woolwich Division of the [[Royal Marines]], and each was considered an innovative and influential design. The Marines departed with the closure of the Dockyard, whereupon the buildings were converted into barracks accommodation for various military corps. Rushgrove House (1806) housed the Colonel Commandant of the Marine Barracks (later Cambridge Barracks) from 1855.<ref>{{NHLE|desc=Rush Grove House|num=1289929|access-date=17 August 2024}}</ref>
