Old Town Hall, Kensington, Municipal building in Kensington, England
The Old Town Hall features a seven-bay frontage with a central section containing prominent stone detailing around the main entrance point.
The construction of the original building was completed in 1880 under the direction of architect Robert Walker, replacing the earlier Kensington Vestry Hall.
The facility served as a central gathering point for civic events, including Margaret Thatcher's significant Britain Awake foreign policy speech in January 1976.
The building stands near High Street Kensington station, providing direct access to public transportation for visitors and local government officials.
An ornamental pool beneath the council chamber was transformed into a garden dedicated to Princess Alice, Countess of Athlone.
