Description

The Royal Victoria Yard Entrance, dating from around 1768 and likely designed by Samuel Wyatt, features a central entranceway flanked by wooden double gates. An ornamental stone arch supports a six-panel door. The arch is enhanced by pilasters and impost blocks, which hold a monolith with an arch carved out, a bucranium keystone, and garlands above. The upper section of the entrance has curved sides and displays a hallowed medallion with intertwined anchors, topped with a cornice and blocking courts.

Local climate

Royal Victoria Yard Entrance 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 96% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 99% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 52% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 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.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
