Overview

Tower Hamlets Civic Centre or New Town Hall on the Royal Hospital site in Whitechapel was brought back into community use.

The new town hall is the part refurbishment of the existing Grade II listed building on the site of the former Royal London Hospital building on Whitechapel Road and part new build at the rear, with a total of 26,700m2 of civic office space, including open-plan office space on the upper floors.

The Civic Centre is in the most accessible part of Tower Hamlets. Situated next to the new transport hub in Whitechapel, it is served by four different train and tube lines including Crossrail, along with bus and cycle routes.

The ground floor is dedicated to public use. The meeting rooms and shared spaces bring people together, residents can access services in one place and there is space dedicated to training.
