HistoryThe barracks, which were designed by John Nash and built as the main recruiting depot for the London area,[1] were completed in 1826.[2] Recruiting sergeants for the regiments based at the barracks tended to operate within a tight area defined by St. George's Barracks, Trafalgar Square and Westminster Abbey.[3] The barracks, which were also used as facilities to accommodate regiments of foot guards,[4] were retained into the 20th century because of the need for troops to be at hand to quell disturbances in Trafalgar Square.[5] They were ultimately demolished in 1911[6] and the site is now occupied by the National Portrait Gallery.[7] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/commons/1896/apr/20/st-georges-barracks-london|title=St George's Barracks, London|publisher=Hansard|date=20 April 1896|accessdate=25 September 2016}} 2. ^{{cite book|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=5mc7AwAAQBAJ&pg=PT135&lpg=PT135&dq=%22Barracks%22+%22Nash%22+london&source=bl&ots=nuoRall5iG&sig=KlEfTwJMJ1arKTV1F_VpUU_AjeE&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiui8f9kqnPAhUGLsAKHakHCiUQ6AEIMzAE#v=onepage&q=%22Barracks%22%20%22Nash%22%20london&f=false|first=Mike|last=Osborne|title=Defending London: A Military History from Conquest to Cold War|publisher=The History Press|year=2012|isbn=978-0-7524-79316}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://digital.library.lse.ac.uk/objects/lse:gup308waf|title=Street Life in London|publisher=Sampson Low, Marston, Searle & Rivington|page=9|accessdate=25 September 2016}} 4. ^{{cite web|first=Walter |last=Thornbury|title='Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery', in Old and New London: Volume 3 |publisher=London|year= 1878|pages= 141–149. |url= http://www.british-history.ac.uk/old-new-london/vol3/pp141-149 |accessdate= 15 September 2016}} 5. ^Conlin, p. 401 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/commons/1919/dec/16/st-georges-barracks-london|title=St George's Barracks, London|publisher=Hansard|date=16 December 1919 |accessdate=25 September 2016}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.npg.org.uk/about/history.php|title=Timeline: 1903|publisher=National Portrait Gallery|accessdate=25 September 2016}} Sources
