Shoreditch Town Hall

Shoreditch Town Hall est un ancien hôtel de ville servant d'espace culturel, évènementiel et communautaire du quartier de Shoreditch, à Londres. Le bâtiment, auparavant siège du Metropolitan Borough de Shoreditch, est un bâtiment classé Grade II. Histoire Au milieu du XIXe siècle, le conseil de sacristie décida d'acquérir une sacristie pour la paroisse Saint-Léonard ; le site choisi était occupé par d'anciens hospices connus sous le nom de « Fuller's Hospital ». La première pierre a été posée par le président du Metropolitan Board of Works, John Thwaites, en 1865. Le nouveau bâtiment, la partie est du complexe actuel, a été conçu par César Augustus Long en style italianisant, construit par John Perry de Stratford et achevé en 1866. À l'époque, on la décrivait comme « la plus grande sacristie de Londres ». Le bâtiment a été embelli avec des statues faisant allusion à la devise de l'arrondissement, « Plus de lumière, plus de puissance », qui fait référence à l'objectif du conseil de produire sa propre électricité pour alimenter l'industrie locale. Le 12 novembre 1888, l'enquête sur la mort de Mary Jane Kelly, la dernière victime des meurtres de Whitechapel, a eu lieu dans le bâtiment. À la suite de la création du Metropolitan Borough de Shoreditch en 1899, le bâtiment fut agrandi vers l'ouest en ajoutant une tour et trois travées supplémentaires. La première pierre de l'extension a été posée par la maire, Mme Sarah Ellen Kershaw, le 9 septembre 1901. La conception de William Hunt a créé une structure monumentale achevée en 1902. À l'intérieur, les principales pièces étaient la salle du conseil et le salon du maire au rez-de-chaussée et une grande salle de réunion au premier étage. Une aile supplémentaire au sud du bâtiment principal a été ajoutée en 1938. L'édifice a cessé d'être le siège du gouvernement local après la formation du London Borough of Hackney en 1965. Il a ensuite été utilisé comme lieu de boxe et d'autres événements. Dans les années 1990, la salle de réunion servait de boîte de nuit proposant de la musique trance. Après une période de négligence, il est devenu la propriété du Shoreditch Town Hall Trust nouvellement créé en 1997. Après un vaste programme de restauration, le bâtiment a rouvert ses portes en 2004 pour servir de lieu de rencontre à des fins communautaires, culturelles et commerciales. D'autres travaux d'amélioration des installations en 2012 lui ont permis de se développer comme un lieu d'art et d'événements.

Marconi House

Marconi House is a Grade II listed building at 335 Strand (at its junction with Aldwych) in London. It was originally built as a hotel and restaurant in 1904, designed by Norman Shaw, to serve the Gaiety Theatre next door. It then became the headquarters of the Marconi Companies from the week of May 12, 1912 to 1933 and later as the offices of English Electric. It was from studios on the seventh floor (in 1922 and 1923) that the first radio programmes from the London Broadcasting Station 2LO were broadcast and it was later used as the headquarters for the Ministry of Civil Aviation, before English Electric returned in 1950. The building has since been converted for residential use by Galliard Homes. Notes
English Martyrs Church, Tower Hill

English Martyrs Church is a Roman Catholic parish church in Tower Hill, London. It was built from 1873 to 1876, by Pugin & Pugin according to designs by their deceased brother, E. W. Pugin. It is located on Prescot Street, close to the Royal College of Psychiatrists. It was founded by the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate and has been listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England since 1982. History Foundation In 1864, the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate were invited to Tower Hill and Kilburn by Cardinal Nicholas Wiseman to start missions serving the local Catholic communities. In 1865, the Oblates arrived and founded those missions. Construction work soon started on a temporary church and school on the church's present site. On 12 December 1866, the temporary church and school were opened by the Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Henry Manning. From 1870 to 1872, a new building constructed with a school on the ground floor and a chapel on the first floor. Construction On 18 May 1873, the foundation stone for English Martyrs Church was laid by Cardinal Manning. It was designed by E. W. Pugin, but work was delayed because of problems in buying the land and the death of Pugin on 5 June 1875. Pugin's brothers, Cuthbert Welby Pugin and Peter Paul Pugin carried on the work based on E. W. Pugin's designs. On 22 June 1876, Cardinal Manning opened the church. Construction work was done by Lascelles of Bunhill Row, and the cost was £10,000 (equivalent to £997,636 in 2025). Developments In 1881, the presbytery was rebuilt. The work was paid for by the Carthusians, in commemoration for the Carthusian Martyrs of London, executed at Tower Hill in 1535. In the 1890s, the school next door was enlarged, resulting in the demolition of the original sacristy and the building of a new one in the presbytery. In 1940, during the Second World War, the church was damaged by a 500 kg bomb which fell through the roof, damaged the side wall and destroyed the pulpit, but it did not explode. In 1970, the school was moved to St Mark Street and its old site became a community centre. In 1991, refurbishment work was done to the sanctuary and the church. In 2007, the roof was repaired and the interior repainted. Parish In English Martyrs Church, there are three Sunday Masses, at 6:30pm on Saturday and at 9:00am and 11:00am on Sunday.

St George's Town Hall

St George's Town Hall is a municipal building on Cable Street in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It was originally known as St George's Vestry Hall and built to house the local government of the St George in the East area of Wapping. The St George in the East district merged into the new larger Metropolitan Borough of Stepney, with the building subsequently becoming known as Stepney Town Hall. It would later be renamed St George's Town Hall. It is a Grade II listed building. History In the mid-19th century the local vestry board met in a room on the south-west corner of the Church of St George in the East. Board members decided this arrangement was inadequate for their needs and that they would procure a purpose-built vestry hall for the Parish of St George: the site chosen was to the north-east of the church and already formed part of the church grounds. The vestry hall, the western section of the current complex, was designed by Andrew Wilson in the Classical style and was completed in 1860. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with five bays facing onto Cable Street; there was a porch with Doric order columns and pilasters and a triglyphed frieze projecting from the central section and a row of windows interspersed with Ionic order columns on the first floor. A cornice bearing the words "Erected AD 1860" was added at roof level. The principal room was the board room (subsequently termed the council chamber) located on the first floor at the front of the building. On 1 October 1888 the inquest into the death of Elizabeth Stride, the third victim of the Whitechapel murders, was held in the building. The building was extended eastwards by adding an extra three bays to the five bays that already existed in a similar style in 1899; it went on to become the headquarters of the Metropolitan Borough of Stepney as "Stepney Town Hall" in 1900. The area a short distance west of town hall was the scene of the Battle of Cable Street on Sunday 4 October 1936 when a clash took place between the Metropolitan Police, sent to protect a march by members of the British Union of Fascists, led by Oswald Mosley, and various anti-fascist demonstrators. A mural, which was painted on the side of the building, in the early 1980s, to depict these events, was restored in the early 21st century. The building ceased to function as the local seat of government when the enlarged London Borough of Tower Hamlets was formed in 1965. It subsequently became the home of various community organisations including St George's Boxing Club. After the building was converted for commercial use in the 1990s, a community centre, managed by Unite the Union, was established in the basement in 2013. References
Havering Town Hall

Havering Town Hall is a municipal building in Main Road, Romford, London. The town hall, which is the headquarters of Havering London Borough Council, is a Grade II listed building. History In the second half of the 19th century the local board of health was based in offices in the Market Place in Romford before acquiring the old court house of the independent liberty of Havering on the south side of the Market Place in 1892. The local board was restructured as an urban district in 1894 and, after the old court house became inadequate for their needs, civic leaders decided to procure a purpose-built town hall: the site selected in Main Road had previously been open land. The council relocated to temporary offices in South Street in 1931 while it waited for the new building to become available. The foundation stone for the new building was laid by the local member of parliament, John Parker, on 28 November 1936. It was designed by Herbert R. Collins and Antoine Englebert O. Geens in the International Moderne style, built by Thomas Bates & Son in brown brick and was officially opened as Romford Town Hall by the Lord Mayor of London, Sir George Broadbridge, on 16 September 1937. The district was also incorporated as a municipal borough that year and Broadbridge took the opportunity to present the charter of incorporation to the charter mayor, Councillor Charles Allen, on the same day. The design for the building, which had a Scandinavian element to it, involved an asymmetrical main frontage facing onto Main Road; it featured a tower on the left with a doorway and canopy on the ground floor and a tall window on the first floor flanked by flagpoles with a further flagpole on the roof; to the right were eleven bays with windows on each of the ground and first floors. The building was extended by three bays to the left in a similar style in 1960. Internally, the main rooms were council chamber and two large committee rooms. The building remained the local seat of government, and was renamed "Havering Town Hall", when the expanded London Borough of Havering was formed in 1965. Queen Elizabeth II, accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, attended a civic lunch with council officials on 6 March 2003. The town hall was extensively restored and redecorated in autumn 2017. In the council chamber, the coats of arms of Havering and Ludwigshafen are displayed. In May 2024, the town hall experienced an arson attack, damaging the property but not leading to any injuries or loss of data. References
Church of St Mary and St Michael, Stepney

The Church of St Mary and St Michael is a Roman Catholic Church at 2 Lukin Street, Commercial Road, E1 0AA in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It is an active Roman Catholic church in the diocese of Westminster. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. History Built between 1852–1856, The Church of St Mary and St Michael was the largest Roman Catholic church in London at the time. William Wardell, its architect, was a pupil of Augustus Pugin whose influence can be seen in its Gothic Revivalist design. Father James Webb, the last priest in England prosecuted under the Penal laws, was the first Parish Priest of St Mary and St Michael's. Canon Timothy Ring, led the parish from 1904 until 1941, and was a well-known figure in East End London, his funeral was attended by Clement Attlee. References
Tottenham Town Hall

Tottenham Town Hall is a municipal building in Town Hall Approach Road, Tottenham, London. It is a Grade II listed building. History In the 19th century the local board of health met at Bruce Castle. After the area became an urban district in 1895, civic leaders decided to procure purpose-built municipal offices: the site they selected for the new building had previously been occupied by four large residential properties: Eaton House, Wilton House, The Ferns and Hatfield House. They decided that the new municipal offices would be flanked by a fire station to the south and swimming baths to the north both to be built in the same architectural style and at the same time as the municipal offices. A school, to be built to the north of the swimming baths, was added to the scheme a few years later. The foundation stone for the new facility was laid on 6 October 1904. The building was designed by Arnold Taylor and Rutherford Jemmett in the Baroque style; it was officially opened by the Chairman of the Council, T H Camp, on 2 November 1905. The design involved a symmetrical main frontage with seven bays facing onto Town Hall Approach Road; the central section of five bays featured a doorway with a stone surround flanked by Tuscan order pilasters on the ground floor; there were tall rounded-headed windows with Gibbs surround arches flanked with Ionic order columns in the centre and Ionic order pilasters beyond on the first floor; there was a cupola with a clock at roof level. The principal room was the council chamber on the first floor. The building became the headquarters of the Municipal Borough of Tottenham as "Tottenham Town Hall" when the area secured municipal borough status in 1934. In May 1962, after Tottenham Hotspur won the first FA Cup against Burnley, a victory reception was held at the town hall and Jimmy Greaves held the FA Cup trophy aloft from town hall balcony. The town hall ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged London Borough of Haringey was formed in 1965. In the late 1980s a memorial to Cynthia Jarrett, whose death in October 1985 was the catalyst for the Broadwater Farm riot, was erected outside the town hall. The building subsequently deteriorated and was placed on the Buildings at Risk Register. An extensive programme of refurbishment works of the building to the designs of BPTW was completed in December 2010. The works included restoration of the council chamber, which was renamed the Moselle Room after the River Moselle which flows through the area. The development also made land available behind the town hall for Newlon Housing Trust to create new affordable homes. The adjacent swimming baths and the fire station, which both formed part of the original composition, were redeveloped as an arts centre and as a restaurant in 2007 and 2015 respectively. References

The Jugged Hare

The Jugged Hare is a public house and restaurant at 49 Chiswell Street, between the Barbican and Moorgate underground stations in the City of London.

Ibex House

Ibex House is an eleven storey Art Deco office building on the east side of the City of London, just to the north of the Tower of London. It was designed by Fuller, Hall and Foulsham in the Streamline Moderne style, with curved corners and distinctive horizontal bands of faience cladding and black-framed fenestration. Construction started as a speculative development in 1935 and the building was completed in 1937. It became a Grade II listed building in 1982. The building occupies about 0.75 acres (3,000 m2), almost half of the narrow block running between the Minories to the west and Mansell Street to the east, with Portsoken Street to the south and Haydon Street to the north. It has an elongated H- or I-shaped footprint, with blocks towards the east and west joined by a long thin central block. The arrangement provides ample natural light to the office space within. Most of the building rises to seven or eight upper floors, with top floors stepped back, plus a ground and lower ground floor and basement. It was built using a steel frame with distinctive strips of faience cladding, black on the ground floor and buff on upper floors, between long strips of windows with black metal frames and horizontal glazing bars. Pevsner mentioned its "Long bands of glass, whizzing round curved corners". Curved glazed projections at the centre of the north and south façades run from the first to the top floor. The centre of the façade above the main west entrance is emphasised with a vertical black faience strip with glazing, running from the first to the top floor, with similar vertical black faience strips above entrances in the sides of the east and west blocks. The building houses 191,144 sq ft (17,757.9 m2) of commercial and office space, occupied by a variety of businesses, including the main offices of PLP Architecture. The ground floor alongside the Minories contains a number of retail units, which for many years included a public house and a sandwich bar. Until recently, most of the lower ground floor and basement was occupied by a Virgin Active health club. As a largely unchanged example of a late 1930s office building, it became a Grade II listed building in 1982 in recognition of its architectural integrity. The building was restored (including the replacement of all the faience) by the architects Rolfe Judd in 1994-94, and sold around 2019 for a price of around £121 million.

Odeon Cinema, Richmond

The Odeon Cinema, originally the Richmond Kinema, is a multiplex cinema in Richmond, London, England. Opened in 1930, it is noted for its Art Deco style. It is a Grade II listed building. History and description The cinema was designed by Julian Leathart and W. R. Grainger for Joseph Mears Theatres Ltd, and was opened on 21 April 1930, as the Richmond Kinema. It seated 1,533, in stalls and circle levels. It was also a theatre, with stage and dressing rooms, which have survived. The building has a steel frame clad in brick. The façade, faced with faience, is in neo-Egyptian-influenced Art Deco style. Above the entrance, there are windows with Art Deco chevrons in the metal glazing; above these are Ionic capitals featuring lion masks. In 1944 it was taken over by Odeon Cinemas, and renamed the Odeon. Three screens were installed in 1972: screen 1 in the former circle, and screens 2 and 3 below the circle. Screen 1 retains the atmosphere of the original auditorium, evoking a 17th-century Spanish courtyard: there is elaborate grillwork, loggias and steeped pitched roofs with Spanish pantiles to the sides. The listing text comments that it is "One of only three surviving 'atmospheric' interiors in Britain, the others being The Academy, Brixton, and The Rainbow Theatre, Finsbury Park." Screens 4 to 7 of Odeon Richmond are in a separate building on Red Lion Street, a former billiard hall which opened as Odeon Studios in 1992.

Spaniards Mount

Spaniards Mount at 61 Winnington Road in Hampstead Garden Suburb, London is a detached house that was designed by the architect Adrian Gilbert Scott as his personal residence. It was built in 1935 and has been Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England since November 1996. History The Historic England heritage listing for Spaniards Mount notes that the "emphasis on pure geometry shows the clear influence of the Modern manner" and likens its design to the early 1920s domestic work of Frank Lloyd Wright in California. The exterior is praised for Scott's blending of "historicist detail with a Modernist feeling for mass and form". Scott's designs for Spaniards Mount were exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1938. Bridget Cherry, writing in the 1998 London: North edition of the Pevsner Architectural Guides, listed Spaniards Mount as having been built in 1936 and wrote that it "quite harmoniously combines brick-facing and sash windows with a more modernist central balcony". Cherry noted that the house sits among "very showy...almost universally genteel Neo-Georgian" houses near Hampstead Golf Club. References
