Built in 1879 as one of the London Dockland's great civic centres, this Grade 2 listed building remains a prominent historical landmark. This was the site of one of Clement Atlee's last speeches and has been a temporary home to historical exhibitions.

These days it's used as Wapping Neighbourhood office, a temporary home for the George's BoxingClub, and emergency winter shelter for the homeless.

Since the year 2000, the Limehouse Town Hall Consortium, a group made up of the four arts-related organisations have committed themselves to bringing this unique building and its historical relevance back to life and into public use as the civic centre it once was.
