Finsbury Town Hall, Grade II* listed town hall in Islington, London, United Kingdom
The municipal building features an asymmetrical nine-bay frontage with a central cast iron porch and a projecting clock on Rosebery Avenue.
Construction of the Flemish Renaissance Revival structure began in July 1894, replacing an earlier vestry hall described as the smallest in London.
The great hall contains decorative elements including the Clerkenwell Angels sculptures, which hold brass light fittings crafted by Vaughan & Brown.
The building now functions as the Urdang Academy performing arts college while maintaining its status as an approved venue for marriage ceremonies.
During World War II, authorities constructed an air raid shelter and control center underneath Garnault Place, accessible directly from the town hall.
