Blackfriars Rotunda, Historical meeting hall in Southwark, London, United Kingdom.
The Blackfriars Rotunda featured a central circular gallery with a conical slate roof constructed from brick materials near Blackfriars Bridge.
The building served as home to the Leverian Museum collection from 1787 until 1806, when financial difficulties led to the auction of its contents.
During the Surrey Institution period from 1807 to 1823, the Rotunda hosted scientific lectures and literary discussions by notable speakers.
Located near the southern end of Blackfriars Bridge, the structure remained accessible to visitors until its destruction in 1958.
Between 1830 and 1832, Richard Carlile transformed the Rotunda into a center for radical political meetings and educational reform lectures.
