In 1908 the Haldane Reforms created the Territorial Force (TF), which subsumed the previous Volunteers.
The large 1st London corps provided three field brigades of the Royal Field Artillery in the new force: the companies at Shepherd's Bush became the VII London Brigade while those at Brixton became the VI London Brigade.
The remaining companies based at the Barbican became the I City of London Brigade RFA (TF):
Brigade HQ – from HQ and part of No 7 Company
1st City of London Battery – from Nos 1 and 4 Companies
2nd City of London Battery – from Nos 2 and 6 Companies
3rd City of London Battery – from Nos 3 and 5 Companies
1st London Ammunition Column – from No 7 Company
I City of London Bde, along with II, II and IV London Bdes, was assigned to the 1st London Division of the TF.
The three batteries were each equipped with four 15-pounder guns.
In 1913 the brigade moved to a new headquarters at Artillery House, Handel Street, in Bloomsbury.
The building was shared with the 1st (City of London) Battalion, London Regiment (Royal Fusiliers).
