Description

The market entrance, built in 1831, is a two-storey structure with five windows. The central three-bay section projects slightly and is situated above a wide, open carriageway. It is constructed of stucco and features entablatures on both floors, topped with a parapet. The first floor has an inscription in the frieze that reads "GREENWICH MARKET, ERECTED MDCCCXXXI." On either side of the archway, there is a colonnade of paired Doric columns, with recesses that separate the central section from the one-bay side sections. The first-floor sash windows have glazing bars and are framed by moulded architraves, friezes, and cornices; the side bays also feature pediments. The ground floor openings are round arches with moulded architraves, and there is an impost string that runs continuously with the cornice head above the six-panel double doors. The entrance is adorned with radial fanlights that include margin lights. The listed buildings on the south side of College Approach form a group with Nos 37 and 37A King William Walk.

Local climate

Market 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.
