Royal Artillery Barracks, Military barracks in Woolwich, United Kingdom
The Royal Artillery Barracks features a Georgian facade extending 1,000 feet along the south side of Woolwich Common in southeast London.
Constructed in 1776, the barracks served as headquarters for the Royal Regiment of Artillery until 2007, housing up to 4,000 military personnel.
The Crimean War Memorial with its bronze Victory statue and twelve cannon posts stands on the parade grounds since 1860.
Modern facilities behind the historic frontage now accommodate 700 soldiers and maintain active military operations within the Grade II listed structure.
The Georgian facade of the barracks holds the distinction of being the longest continuous architectural frontage in Europe.
