"Bringing such a culturally and historically significant building back into public use has been a huge privilege for everyone involved. This restoration has taken years of considered collaboration and care, guided by a shared commitment to do justice to the Town Hall's heritage while giving it a new lease of life and protecting it for future generations to enjoy."
"Successfully removing the building from the Heritage At Risk Register after many years is a great achievement. It's wonderful to see this landmark returned to use and celebrated as it deserves."
"a shining example of what can be achieved when heritage, design and community come together"
Hornsey Town Hall in Crouch End underwent a six-year restoration and has been removed from Historic England's Heritage At Risk Register. The Grade II*-listed building now houses an arts centre, an apartment hotel, 146 homes and public spaces. Visitors can access the restored assembly hall, council chambers and committee rooms. Original Art Deco features were reinstated, including the welcome desk and lift doors. The building was completed in 1935 and was one of Britain's earliest examples of modernist municipal architecture. The town hall had fallen into disrepair and had been placed on the at-risk register prior to the renovation. The revival project involved the Far East Consortium, Make Architects, Historic England and Dorsett Hotels. The restoration emphasized collaboration, careful conservation and adaptations for modern public and residential use to preserve heritage while providing new community amenities and long-term protection.
