Hornsey Town Hall
Hornsey Town Hall is a Grade II* listed building in the heart of Crouch End, owned by Haringey Council.
Since 2007, the council has been working in partnership with a local community group – the Hornsey Town Hall Creative Trust – to find a way to restore the heritage features of this much loved building and allow spaces within to be accessible to the public for the first time in many years. Help Hornsey Town Hall Square become a vibrant community hub.
Central to the aims of the Trust and the council is the desire to:
- Restore Hornsey Town Hall in a way which respects its Grade II* listed status
- Provide financially sustainable spaces which are fit for purpose
- Allow cultural, community and other activities in the Town Hall
- Allow public access to the building
- Make a positive contribution to the local economy
Following extensive consideration of a range of options, the council and the Trust agreed that the best way forward to meet their aims would be to allow an anchor tenant to lease the building. Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts has been invited, subject to a lease agreement and planning permission, to take over the day-to-day running of the Town Hall.

Help Hornsey Town Hall Square become a vibrant community hub
Tell us what kind of activities you would like to see in the location.
A temporary relaxation of licensing rules means the square can now be a trading place and a centre for occasional activities that are independent of the council.
For example, would you want to explore the feasibility of a one-off farmers' or French market, an art fair, wine tasting, an antiques or garden market, holistic and wellbeing services, a book or literary festival, an occasional outdoor ice rink or a vintage market in the area?
Consultation on the short-term use of Hornsey Town Hall Square
The council is working with Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts on a longer term development plan for the Town Hall, and in the meantime would like to see the Town Square brought into use.
In May 2011, the council approved a temporary relaxation of street trading licensing across the borough to stimulate ideas about how some areas could be made more vibrant, and in June a call was made to the local community to submit ideas for the use of Hornsey Town Hall Square. The council has received initial ideas for a range of cultural events and an occasional farmers’ market.
