Waltham Forest Town Hall, Grade II listed administrative building in Walthamstow, England
The three-story municipal building features Portland limestone construction with copper details and a symmetrical frontage with a full-height portico at its center.
Completed in 1942 during World War II, the town hall replaced an earlier Italianate structure on Orford Road when the area advanced from urban district to municipal borough.
The council chamber contains five statues created by sculptor John Francis Kavanagh, while the assembly hall has hosted performances by Yehudi Menuhin and Plácido Domingo.
The town hall functions as the headquarters of Waltham Forest London Borough Council and operates telephone services at 020 8496 3000 for local inquiries.
Fellowship Square surrounding the building underwent transformation in 2021, adding a memorial garden that displays a reproduction of Henry Moore's sculpture The Arch.
