REASONS FOR DESIGNATION The war memorial to 22nd Battalion The London Regiment (The Queen's) on Old Jamaica Road is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons: * Historical: as a permanent testament to the sacrifice made by this battalion in World War I, it is of strong historic and cultural significance both at a local and a national level. The commemoration of the Fallen of the 6th (Bermondsey) Battalion of the Queen's Royal Regiment during World War II adds further interest. * Historical: the memorial commemorates the role of a Territorial unit in World War I; the first time that part-time volunteers, with civilian occupations, served en masse in a war abroad. * Architectural interest: the memorial is a restrained but handsome monument, on a scale which is uncommon for memorials dedicated to individual battalions.
