Kingston Guildhall

The Guildhall was designed by Sir Aston Webb in 1935 for the Royal Borough of Kingston-upon-Thames, to replace the old Council offices in Clattern House and the adjacent court buildings. Its unusual shape was designed to make the most of a small site.
See the 'state' rooms in the Guildhall, only by guided tour on 14 September. The tours will include the Mayor's parlour, except the 14.30 tour.

The tours will start in the History Centre, where items on the history of the building will be on display. The History Centre will be open throughout the day (closed for lunch 13.00-14.00)

The History Centre, in the magistrate's court, is open every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 10.00-12.30 and 14.00-16.30. Advance booking is preferred but not vital.
