The main facade of the Royal Artillery Barracks, Woolwich
This view from Grand Depot Road (the South Circular Road) looks towards the Royal Artillery Barracks. The facade dates from the late 18th century and seen here it is the longest Georgian frontage outside St Petersburg. The Royal Artillery moved out in 2007, but other units have moved in from Chelsea Barracks including The King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery - see Link
Ian Nairn in Nairn's London (1966) says of Woolwich Barracks: "No need to go to Leningrad. Come to Woolwich instead, and see the yellow brick march out for a mile or more... In mist or winter sunlight it is haunting: a perpetual Last Post floating as the backcloth to the great parade ground."
