Buckingham Gate drill halls, Military training facility in Westminster, London, England.

The Buckingham Gate drill halls at numbers 58 and 59 feature Victorian architectural elements with distinct wrought-iron roofs and structural military design patterns.

The buildings, completed in 1886, served as headquarters for the London Scottish Regiment and Queen's Westminster Volunteer Rifle Corps until the late 20th century.

The drill halls held significant military ceremonies, training sessions, and social gatherings that connected London's military units with local communities.

Located near Victoria and St James's Park stations, the former military structures now function as office spaces and maintain their Grade II listed status.

Number 59 Buckingham Gate hosted the British Wreck Commissioner's inquiry into the sinking of RMS Titanic in 1912.
