London County Hall

Address:

Belvedere Road, London, SE1 7PB

Designed by architect Ralph Knott, County Hall was officially opened by King George V and Queen Mary on 17 Jul. 1922, after construction began prior to WWI. London County Hall is now home to Witness for the Prosecution, staged in a real-life courtroom.

For 64 years, County Hall served as the headquarters of local government for London, initially the London County Council and later the Greater London Council. The octagonal Council Chamber sits at the centre of County Hall, and provided seating for over 200 council members and four galleries overlooking the Chamber for the public and members of the press.
