Honourable Artillery Company Museum, Military museum in Islington, England
The Honourable Artillery Company Museum houses military uniforms, armor, weapons, and equipment within the Grade II listed Armoury House building constructed in 1735. The collection spans several centuries of military service and includes personal items from soldiers across different eras.
The regiment received its Royal Charter in 1537, making it the oldest of its kind in the British Army. Its history mirrors major military transformations across more than four centuries of British service.
The Medal Room displays sets of military decorations collected over centuries, including Victoria Cross awards that former members and their families have given to the collection.
The museum is typically accessible only to regiment members and their guests, so advance contact is necessary for a visit. Checking requirements beforehand will help you understand what access options may be available.
The museum displays both historical artifacts and contemporary military gear because the regiment remains active in the Army Reserve today. This creates a direct link between centuries-old traditions and modern soldiering practices.
