Old City Hall, Westminster

The Old City Hall, also known as Cavell House and Pennine House, is a historic municipal building located on Charing Cross Road in Westminster, London. Completed in 1890 and designed in a striking neoclassical style by Robert Walker, this Grade II listed building features a grand curved facade and intricate architectural details. Originally serving as the Westminster City Hall, it was the center of local governance until 1965, when it transitioned to commercial use. The building has a rich history, including serving as a polling station where Prime Minister Harold Macmillan voted in 1959. After extensive renovations, it reopened in 2023 as Pennine Place, making it an interesting stop for tourists and researchers alike, especially those interested in London's architectural heritage and civic history.
