Project Value

£1,900,000

Sensitive refurbishment of a Grade II listed building, completed to improve the existing layout of the building.

St George’s Town Hall had previously housed various council-associated services but remained underutilised. After collaborative discussions with the design team, project managers, end-users, and planning and conservation officers, a comprehensive design strategy was developed.

The works aimed to sensitively enhance the building’s layout to support a broader range of uses, including affordable event and meeting space. The redesigned first-floor main hall now functions primarily as a registry venue, with the flexibility to be subdivided according to attendee numbers. Adjacent rooms were adapted to provide toilets, individual registration rooms, a staff kitchen, and open-plan office space for registry staff. A new public café, separate from the registry, was introduced to encourage footfall through the adjacent park.

The project also included the creation of dedicated accommodation for the Metropolitan Police.
