County Hall is a striking municipal building located on Leicester Road in Glenfield, Leicestershire, serving as the headquarters of Leicestershire County Council. Constructed in the Brutalist style between 1965 and 1967, it features a unique design with continuous bands of glazing and concrete paneling, along with a notable mural depicting the River Soar. The building has historical significance, having hosted Queen Elizabeth II during her visit in 1989, and it is home to various artworks, including a painting by John Ferneley and a modern art collection. Additionally, it hosts the annual Lord-Lieutenant's Young Person of the Year Awards, making it a hub of community recognition and cultural heritage.
