Chiswick Town Hall


Chiswick Town Hall stands on Heathfield Terrace, Chiswick, London, facing Turnham Green. It is a Grade II listed building.

History

In the mid 19th century the local vestry council had met in a variety of different locations. The land for the present town hall was purchased for the benefit of the parish churchwardens and overseers in 1874. It was designed by William Joshua Trehearne in the Italianate style and opened as a vestry hall in 1876.
After being transferred to the then-new Chiswick Urban District Council in 1896, the building was enlarged to designs by the council surveyor, Arthur Ramsden, and was re-opened as a town hall in February 1901.
The town hall was transferred to the Municipal Borough of Brentford and Chiswick in 1927 and then to the London Borough of Hounslow in 1965. Although it is no longer the seat of local government, a Citizens Advice Bureau is located in the building.
