History

The drill hall was designed as the drill hall for G (London Scottish) Company 1st Battalion 51st Highland Volunteers and completed in 1985.[1][2] It incorporates parts of the structure, including the wrought iron roof, the double-level iron galleries and the war memorials, which were relocated from the company's previous drill hall at 59 Buckingham Gate.[3]

Prior to their move to 76D Rochester Row, it was the home of A (London Scottish) Company of the London Regiment.[4] It is a Grade II listed building.[5] The London Scottish Regiment Museum holds a collection of regimental memorabilia which it displays on the galleries.[6]
