Description
The bandstand, built in 1861 by Captain Francis Fowke, is a circular structure supported by coupled iron columns and features quadripartite pierced iron brackets. Its roof is designed in the shape of a Greek cross, with quadrants filling the angles. Above this, there is a shallow drum of pierced ironwork that supports a gadrooned lead dome topped with a candlestick finial. Originally located in the Royal Horticultural Society's Garden in South Kensington, the bandstand was re-erected at Clapham in 1890. It currently lacks its balustrade and finial, and its base has been altered.

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.
