The Royal Fusiliers (City of London Regiment), established in 1685 and amalgamated into the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers in 1968, is a storied infantry formation closely associated with the City of London. Its extensive service in major conflicts, notably the First and Second World Wars, had a significant impact on British military history and on the communities of London from which many of its members were recruited. The regiment’s traditions, ceremonial dress and battle honours are preserved through collections, memorials and interpretive displays that trace individual and collective experiences. As a cultural touchstone, the site links military heritage with civic life via regimental ceremonies and commemorations. Key attractions typically include displays of uniforms and medals, personal archives, photographs and memorial art. The site offers public access at scheduled times, a range of admission arrangements and general accessibility provisions, with interpretation focused on history, remembrance and the regiment’s continuing legacy in the City.
