Woodlands House, Grade II* listed building in Royal Borough of Greenwich, England
The Georgian villa features a symmetrical facade, large sash windows, and classical architectural elements characteristic of the late 18th-century residential design.
John Julius Angerstein, a Lloyd's underwriter who accumulated wealth from East Indian trade, commissioned architect George Gibson to build Woodlands House between 1774 and 1776.
The property transformed from a private residence to a refugee hostel during World War I, then operated as a convent before becoming Woodlands Art Gallery in 1972.
The heritage building requires specific Listed Building Consent from the Royal Borough of Greenwich for any modifications to preserve its architectural elements.
Daniel Lysons documented the residence's art collection in 1796, noting the extensive holdings of paintings and decorative items within its walls.
