Brighton Town Hall, Town hall in Bartholomew Square, Brighton, England.
The Greek Revival building features a four-storey portico with Doric columns below and Ionic columns above, crowned by a prominent pediment.
The current structure, designed by Thomas Cooper, replaced a 1727 town hall and opened in 1832 after Thomas Read Kemp laid its foundation stone.
Charles Dickens presented a reading of A Christmas Carol at this location on November 12 and 13, 1858, marking a notable literary event.
The building houses the city's register office and offers three rooms for wedding ceremonies: the Regency Room, Fitzherbert Room, and Council Chamber.
Former police cells in the basement, used until 1965, now form the Old Police Cells Museum, which opened to the public in 2005.
