Haringey Civic Centre, Grade II listed civic building in Wood Green, England
The asymmetrical main frontage of Haringey Civic Centre features a large projecting glass facade in the south and nine window bays across three floors.
Construction began in 1956 by Gee, Walker & Slater, and Member of Parliament Joyce Butler inaugurated the building as Wood Green Civic Centre in March 1958.
The design draws inspiration from Danish municipal architecture, particularly the city halls of Aarhus and Søllerød, incorporating their modernist elements into London's urban landscape.
Several council departments relocated to River Park House in 2005, leading to partial vacancy of the building and subsequent discussions about its regeneration in 2017.
The council chamber contains a distinctive suspended ceiling that slopes downward toward the mayoral dais, creating an architectural focus on the leadership position.
