Description

The Plough Inn is a symmetrical mid-19th century terrace located on Wandsworth Road. The building features slightly projecting ends and a central section that is pedimented. Each house in the terrace has three storeys and two windows. Constructed of stock brick, the terrace has a parapet. The Plough Inn, which comprises Nos 518 to 522, has been rendered, and the entire ground floor has been altered to create a modern public house front. The rest of the terrace retains segmental window arches with sash windows that include glazing bars. Most of the doors have been modernised. Between Nos 524 and 526, there is a round-arched entrance with wrought iron railings, and a blank round panel is present in the pediment. The building is included for its group value with No 516.

The Plough Inn sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 95% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 98% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 57% of listed buildings. Of these, 16 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
