Limehouse Town Hall, Town hall from 1879 in Limehouse, London, England.

The Grade II listed building features a symmetrical main frontage with five bays, Corinthian columns, and a carved pediment on Commercial Road.

The foundation stone was laid by churchwarden James Rollinson in 1879, and the building opened as the vestry hall of Limehouse District in 1881.

Chancellor David Lloyd George delivered a speech in 1909 that introduced the phrase 'To Limehouse' into political vocabulary for provocative addresses.

The venue accommodates 150 seated or 300 standing guests, offering wooden flooring, rose chandelier holders, and a central staircase for photographs.

After serving as the National Museum of Labour History until the 1980s, the building now functions as a community center housing organizations like Stitches in Time.

Location: London Borough of Tower Hamlets
