Newham Council Offices, Town hall in East Ham, London, England

The Newham Council Offices features a 150-foot-high tower with a clock and stands prominently on Barking Road with an asymmetrical six-bay frontage.

Built in 1903 by architects Henry Cheers and Joseph Smith, the building received its Grade II* listing status in 1973, marking its architectural importance.

The council chambers within the building host regular municipal meetings and serve as a center for local democratic processes in the London Borough of Newham.

The building maintains its original function as a governmental center while the newer Newham Dockside facility houses additional council departments and staff offices.

The tower contains a massive hour bell weighing nearly one ton, which has marked time for East Ham residents since the building's construction.
