Description
Dulwich Toll House is a toll house built around 1821 for Dulwich College. It is constructed of Flemish bond brick and features a gabled roof covered with fishscale tiles, along with a brick ridge stack. The building has a cruciform plan and includes a 20th-century gabled cross wing extension to the east that matches the original style.
The exterior is one storey high, with the north and south elevations originally consisting of three bays. There is a segmental-arched doorway leading to a porch on the west side, flanked by lancet windows, and a 19th-century four-panelled inner door. The westernmost bays on each long elevation have 19th-century canted bay windows with transomed lights. Other windows are casements with slightly cambered, gauged-brick arches and glazing bars.
The interior has not been inspected. Historically, a toll was first established on the road across Dulwich Common in 1789, making this the only functioning example of a toll house in Greater London.
