City Hall, Bristol, Municipal headquarters on College Green, Bristol, England
The City Hall curves along College Green with a Neo-Georgian design featuring gilded unicorns on its end pavilions and Portland stone dressings.
Construction started in 1938 but World War II interrupted progress until 1952, with Queen Elizabeth II officially opening the building in 1956.
The Conference Hall walls display the names of all Mayors and Lord Mayors of Bristol since 1216, preserving the city's governmental legacy.
Visitors can access council services, attend meetings, and organize events in multiple function rooms equipped with modern facilities.
The building incorporates an environmental system that uses rainwater for toilet flushing and channels excess heat through a surrounding moat.
