The '''London Regiment''' was an [[infantry]] [[regiment]] in the [[British Army]], part of the [[Territorial Force]] (renamed the [[Army Reserve (United Kingdom)#Interwar re-establishment and the Second World War|Territorial Army]] in 1921). The regiment saw service in the [[First World War]] and was disbanded in 1938, shortly before the [[Second World War]], when most of its battalions were converted to other roles or transferred elsewhere, and reformed in 1993. The [[London Guards]] date their formation to that of this regiment in 1908.<ref>{{Cite web |title=London Guards |url=https://www.army.mod.uk/who-we-are/corps-regiments-and-units/infantry/london-guards/ |publisher=The British Army}}</ref>

===First World War=== Now part of the [[Territorial Force]], the London Regiment expanded to 88 battalions in the [[First World War]]. Of these, 49 battalions saw action in the [[Trench warfare|trenches]] of the [[Western Front (World War I)|Western Front]] in France and [[Flanders]], six saw action in the [[Gallipoli campaign]], 12 saw action at [[Macedonian front|Salonika]], 14 saw action against the Turks in [[Sinai and Palestine campaign|Palestine]], and one saw action in [[Waziristan]] and [[Afghanistan]].<ref name=qrs>{{cite web|url=http://www.queensroyalsurreys.org.uk/militia_vol_territorials/mvt45_1.shtml|title=London Regiment|publisher=Queen's Royal Surreys|access-date=6 February 2020}}</ref>
Shortly after the outbreak of the [[First World War]], the formation of Reserve or 2nd-Line units for each existing Territorial Force unit was authorised. They were distinguished by a '2/' prefix from their parent unit (prefixed '1/'). Initially these were formed from men who had not volunteered for overseas service, and the recruits who were flooding in. Later they were mobilised for overseas service in their own right and new 3rd Line units were created to supply drafts to the two service battalions. Unusually, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th London Battalions each sent three battalions overseas and formed 4th Line reserve units. Thus the 26 pre-war battalions of the London regiment became 82 battalions.<ref>Becke, Pt 2b, p. 6.</ref><ref name = TrailLond>{{cite web|url=http://www.longlongtrail.co.uk/army/regiments-and-corps/the-british-infantry-regiments-of-1914-1918/london-regiment/ |title=London Regiment|publisher=The Long, Long Trail|access-date=20 October 2017}}</ref>
In June 1915, men of Territorial Force units who had only volunteered for Home service were formed into composite Provisional Battalions for coast defence. In 1916 the Military Service Act swept away the Home/Overseas service distinction and the provisional battalions took on the dual role of home defence and physical conditioning to render men fit for drafting overseas. For example, the 100th Provisional Battalion was formed from Home Service men of [[173rd (3/1st London) Brigade]] (3/1st, 3/2nd, 3/3rd and 3/4th Bns London Regiment). 104th and 105th Provisional Battalions were assigned to the Honourable Artillery Company (which was nominally a battalion of the London Regiment but never accepted that identity), whilst 100th–103rd and 106th–108th Provisional Battalions were assigned to the London Regiment in general.<ref name = Grim117>Grimwade, p. 117.</ref><ref name = Grey87>Grey, pp. 87–8.</ref><ref name = Porter>{{Cite web |url=http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=175475 |title=David Porter's research on Provisional Battalions at the Great War Forum |access-date=22 March 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160216152033/http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=175475 |archive-date=16 February 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
===Post-war=== The London Regiment was reformed in the [[Army Reserve (United Kingdom)|Territorial Army]] in the 1920s and its individual battalions were granted battle honours in 1924.<ref name=times130324>{{cite news |title=Battle Honours.

The London Regiment was reformed in 1993 through the re-regimentation of some of the remaining successors of the original regiment (not including, for example, the [[Artists Rifles]] or [[Kensington Regiment (Princess Louise's)]]), which were part of a number of different TA infantry units:<ref name=queens>{{cite web |url=http://queensregimentalassociation.org/media/Queen's%20Regiment.pdf |title=Queen's Regiment |author=<!--Not stated--> |date= |website=Queen's Regimental Association |publisher=Queen's Regimental Association |access-date=9 August 2022 |quote=}}</ref> In 2021, under the ''[[Future Soldier (British Army)|Future Soldier]]'' it was announced that the London Regiment would be re-designated as 1st Battalion London Guards by February 2024.<ref>{{cite press release |author=<!--Not stated--> |title= Future Soldier|url=https://www.army.mod.uk/media/14919/adr010310-futuresoldierguide_25nov.pdf |location=London |publisher=Ministry of Defence |agency=British Army |date=25 November 2021 |access-date=27 November 2021|page=93}}</ref>
