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]
It is currently the home 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]

gollark: It's only something like 137 lines of code, which is nice.
gollark: I mean, all it actually does is refresh a bit and check if a number changes.
