Hornsey Town Hall is a North London landmark. Originally designed by New Zealand architect Reginald Uren in 1935, the Grade II*-listed town hall is recognised as one of Britain’s earliest examples of modernist municipal architecture. It has a rich history as a hub for local events and council activities, but in recent decades it fell into disrepair.
Working in collaboration with FEC and Historic England, Make Architects has led the overall architectural and interior refurbishment of this art deco landmark, transforming it into a mixed-use destination that combines cultural, residential, hospitality, co-working and F&B offerings for the local community and visitors.
Through FEC and Make’s imaginative masterplanning and careful remodelling of spaces, Hornsey Town Hall has now been removed from the Heritage At Risk Register, safeguarding its long-term use and securing its future as a community asset for generations to come.
The project represents a thoughtful example of adaptive re-use – a careful balance of vibrant, flexible spaces that accommodate diverse community needs while remaining respectful and celebratory of the town hall’s civic legacy.
The tour will meet at the the marketing suite which is on the north-west corner of Town Hall Square.
