As the focal point for the local community since 1894, Walworth Town Hall stands defiantly as one of London’s truly iconic civic buildings. This restorative spirit will be accompanied with the energetic, contemporary take of the project’s commercial drivers. The 50,000 sq ft Town Hall and adjoining Newington Library will be repurposed to house workspaces for independent creatives. The new central atrium will become the active soul of the building, providing ideal collision and collaboration space, while a new entrance at Walworth Square will provide a connection to our neighbours. A new healthy café and co-working space will anchor the building to its surroundings.
