Architectural Review Download Original
Town Hall composed of three self-contained units on a large sloped site in north London
The building is set well back from Forty Lane to secure quietness in the offices and to give an effective setting behind a wide forecourt. The latter serves also as a car park.
The plan is composed of three distinct and self-contained units: the municipal offices, the public library, and the assembly hall running back at the right angles to them.
The council chamber is in the centre of the building on an upper level, and beneath it is the approach to the assembly hall from the entrance hall on the south front building.
