Camden Town Hall has reopened following a 4-year refurbishment.
We’ve done all we can to make sure the building is as accessible, inclusive and sustainable as possible, and to protect the building’s history.
We'll also get our investment back and create more income by renting out space in the building.

Sustainability
The town hall is now one of the most sustainable historic buildings in Camden with:

- more bicycle parking spaces

Community room: Claudia Jones Room
We’ve invested in a large community room for residents, voluntary and community groups and schools to book, either at low cost or we may be able to waive the room hire fee. The room is named after civil rights and anti-racism activist Claudia Jones, who organised the first Notting Hill Carnival (originally the Caribbean Carnival) at the town hall in 1959.
