Old London City Hall (Southwark)

The former London City Hall, a glass-fronted, space-age structure designed by renowned architect Norman Foster, once served as the offices of the Mayor of London. Situated on the riverside, this distinctive building, known for its bold and polarizing design, was vacated due to rising rents, leading to the Mayor’s relocation to East London. Today, the landmark is undergoing a transformation into a multi-use complex, featuring retail, restaurants, and office spaces, complemented by urban gardens. Visitors can now experience a blend of modern architecture and vibrant urban life along the Thames.
