"Hornsey Town Hall is one of north London's most storied venues. Over the years the Crouch End venue has hosted the likes of Queen, Electric Light Orchestra and Dexys Midnight Runners. Yes, that's right, 'Come on Eileen' really did echo through the halls of this iconic assembly hall, which was designed by New Zealand architect Reginald Uren in 1935 and is one of the earliest examples of British modernism."
"After closing for a major refurb all the way back in 2019, on December 6 the venue finally reopened its doors to the public. And it's good news for culture vultures. The Grade II-listed landmark has been transformed into a full-blown arts centre. Think live music, theatre, comedy, cinema, food, drink and festivals - all under one very stylish roof."
"So, what's on at Hornsey Town Hall? While no official schedules have been released yet, organisers promise a year-round calendar packed with everything from world-class theatre to concerts and dance shows. There'll also be a specially curated cinema programme showcasing contemporary and classic films from around the globe, plus live-streamed ballet and opera. If the arts aren't your thing and you're a firm foodie instead, worry not - HTH has stuff for you too."
Hornsey Town Hall, designed by Reginald Uren in 1935, is an early example of British modernism and hosted major acts such as Queen, Electric Light Orchestra and Dexys Midnight Runners. A £29 million investment from the Far East Consortium in 2017 funded repairs and a major refurbishment that closed the venue in 2019. The Grade II-listed building reopened on December 6 as a multi-use arts centre offering live music, theatre, comedy, a curated cinema programme, live-streamed ballet and opera, restaurants and a café, with a rooftop bar planned for 2026. Town Hall Square will host festivals including the Crouch End Festival and outdoor events with food stalls, live music and open-air cinema.
