The Mitcham Road Barracks is an Army Reserve centre in Croydon, London, with a history dating back to 1794.
The barracks were designed as a depot for recruits of the Grenadier Guards, the Coldstream Guards and the Scots Guards regiments and were completed, as part of the British response to the French Revolution, in 1794. The barracks became the headquarters of the 2nd Surrey Rifle Volunteers in 1859. The 2nd Surrey Rifle Volunteers evolved to become the 4th Battalion, Queen's Royal Regiment in 1908. The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to India. After benefitting from a major modernisation of the barracks in the 1930s, the battalion became a searchlight regiment in 1938 and a light anti-aircraft regiment in 1942.
