Battersea Town Hall

Battersea Town Hall is a Grade II listed building in Edwardian style located on Lavender Hill. The structure features a symmetrical facade with a portico, expansive windows, and decorative friezes that symbolize municipal authority.

The building was constructed between 1891 and 1893 and served as Battersea's administrative hub until 1965. Administrative functions then relocated to the neighboring borough of Wandsworth.

Since 1980, the building has been a center for theater productions and community performances. Today it attracts local artists and audiences from across the city with regular shows and events.

The building sits near Clapham Junction station and is easily accessible by public transport. It contains event spaces, a cafe, and various facilities designed for visitors and performers.

The Grand Hall was restored following a 2015 fire and blends modern additions with the original architectural features. This balance between old and new makes the space a notable example of thoughtful renovation and recovery.
