The Garden house at Charlton House is a small red brick summer house in the Royal Borough of Greenwich, England, built around 1630 with an undercroft and a high pyramidal swept roof. It is often attributed to the architect Inigo Jones, though no documentary evidence supports the attribution, and its original purpose is unknown. In the 20th century the building was converted into a public lavatory and later fell into dereliction after the facilities closed. It was placed on Historic England Heritage at Risk Register before a conservation project completed in 2023 made it secure and weathertight, and it is a Grade I listed building.
