History

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