City Hall

Open City, with support from the Mayor of London, has created a new film, exhibition and printed tour exploring the new City Hall in the Royal Docks

Earlier this year the Greater London Authority, the London Assembly and the Mayor of London relocated to a new headquarters in the former Crystal building next to Royal Victoria Dock and the London Cable Car.

An exhibition, film and free printed walking tour explaining City Hall’s relocation to the Royal Docks has been created by Open City for this year’s 30th anniversary Open House Festival with support from the Mayor of London.

The film features Tina Jadav, a Senior Project Officer in the Regeneration Team at the Greater London Authority; Alice Fung, co-founder and director of Architecture 00 who fitted out City Hall and local resident Danny Danquah who authored the walking tour.

Royal Victoria Dock – the western element of the Royal Docks – is the new home of London’s government: the Greater London Authority (GLA), the Mayor of London and the London Assembly. In this extraordinary landscape the new City Hall building is a symbol of our city’s amazing capacity for reinvention and renewal.

Not only is it at the cutting edge of sustainable design, but it will also help to act as a catalyst for regeneration within the Royal Docks and local area – just as the old City Hall did at the turn of the millennium a little further upriver.

This new civic space is open to all Londoners and has been designed to encourage participation in the key decisions affecting our city.

The vision is that it will be a place where a fairer, greener, safer and more prosperous future is forged for all of London’s communities. This exhibition – featuring a film and free takeaway printed walking tour – tells its story.

City Hall will be showing the film and exhibition from Thursday 22 September to Thursday 29 September, at the following times:

08.30 – 18.00 Mon – Thurs
08.30 – 17.30 Fri
Cafe closes at 16.00
