Croydon Town Hall Restoration
Croydon, London
This Grade II* listed Town Hall has been refurbished to provide new facilities, reconciling heritage issues with the needs of modern local government. Working closely with English Heritage, we successfully re-centralised civic functions within the old town hall.
Principal spaces have been restored to their Victorian grandeur, and now incorporate air conditioning, lighting and Audio / Visual systems. Accommodation for the Mayor and Council committees has been provided which is splendid, functional, versatile and comfortable.
