Regional War Room is a scheduled monument located 130 metres north-west of Rankine Avenue in East Kilbride, Lanarkshire. The site is protected by Historic Environment Scotland under reference SM11068. The war room occupies ground underlain by bedrock of the Clackmannan Group, Westphalian sedimentary deposits that form the solid geology of this part of central Scotland.
The Regional War Room dates from the Cold War period and represents the infrastructure established to support Britain's civil defence organisation during the era of nuclear threat. Such installations were designed to provide command and control functions during national emergency, operated by local authority and regional personnel trained to coordinate emergency response across their designated area.
The monument's location in East Kilbride, an industrial town in South Lanarkshire with significant manufacturing heritage, reflects the strategic positioning of war rooms throughout populated and economically important areas of Scotland. The scheduling of this site acknowledges its historical significance as evidence of twentieth-century Cold War preparedness and civil defence planning, preserving the physical remains of this important phase in Scotland's recent history.
