Tower Hamlets Town Hall
Tower Hamlets Town Hall is a municipal facility in Mulberry Place, Poplar, London.History
Mulberry Place
The site for the building formed part of a development by the Nordic Construction Company to regenerate the western part of the East India Import Dock. The building itself, which was designed by Sten Samuelson and the Beaton Thomas Partnership in the Modernist style, was completed in 1992. The name, Mulberry Place, was chosen to commemorate the construction of the Mulberry harbours in the dock during the Second World War. Tower Hamlets London Borough Council, which had been based at Bethnal Green Town Hall, moved into the building in 1993. The owner of the facility, which the council currently rents, intends to convert it into flats after the council leaves in 2022.In March 2018 the council announced plans to move to a new "civic centre" at the old Royal London Hospital which closed in 2012. The works, which are being designed by Allford Hall Monaghan Morris and undertaken by Bouygues at a cost of £109.5 million, are expected to be complete in 2022.
