Kensington and Chelsea Town Hall

Kensington and Chelsea Town Hall is a municipal administration building featuring clean modernist design with stone cladding, large windows, and geometric patterns on its main facade. The structure houses various departments and provides customer services to assist residents with council-related matters.

Architect Basil Spence designed this administrative center between 1972 and 1976 as a contemporary new building. The project consolidated multiple council functions previously scattered across different locations in the borough.

The building serves as a gathering place where residents participate in council meetings and public consultations about local matters. It represents where the community engages with the administration that manages their borough's affairs.

Access to customer services is available through the Holland Street entrance, where staff assist with council tax, housing benefits, and parking permits. Checking opening hours and available departments before visiting helps ensure you reach the right office for your needs.

The building replaced two separate town halls that previously operated at different locations across the area and had served the community for long periods. This consolidation created a single centralized workplace that streamlined administrative operations.
