Bromley Town Hall


Bromley Town Hall is a municipal building in Tweedy Road, Bromley, London. It is a Grade II listed building, dating from 1906.

History

The building was commissioned to replace an old 19th-century town hall in the Market Square. The new building, which was designed by R. Frank Atkinson in the Baroque style, was completed in 1906. It was officially opened by the local mayor on 25 September 1907. It was extended to a design by Charles Cowles-Voysey in Neo-Georgian style in 1939.
The building was established as the headquarters of the Municipal Borough of Bromley and continued to function as the local of seat of government when the enlarged London Borough of Bromley was formed in 1965. David Bowie's wedding to Mary Angela Barnett took place in the town hall in March 1970.
As part of a larger regeneration scheme to create a new Civic Centre, the council moved their offices to the old palace in 1982. It was then used as the home of the Bromley College Business School until 2007. The building, which subsequently became vacant, was added to the Heritage at Risk Register in 2009. In 2020 works began to convert the town hall into a boutique hotel and new offices.
