About the Band

City of London Pipe Band is a modern competitive pipe band based in London, England. It was established around 2015–2016 with the aim of building a strong, inclusive pipe band organisation capable of competing at a high level in England and internationally. Early reports describe the band starting in October 2016 with around 50 players signed up.

The band developed quickly, creating links with the University of Bedfordshire Pipe Band as part of a feeder and development structure. Its long-term ambition has been to build a sustainable organisation able to compete in the higher grades, with Grade 1 as the eventual target.

City of London has competed within the Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association London and South of England Branch, where it has been listed in Grade 3A. It has also appeared at major contests, including the World Pipe Band Championships, helping raise the profile of competitive pipe bands in London.

Today, the band continues to represent London through competition, performance and player development, aiming to strengthen high-level piping and drumming in the south of England.
