Inside Camden’s Major New Exhibition Space and Arts Venue

Camden’s former town hall has been transformed into a stunning new arts and culture venue. 

Completed in 1937 and designed by Albert Thomas, the grand neoclassical building was the home to Camden Council until 2018, when it closed for refurbishment. 

Original called St Pancras Town Hall, the erstwhile government building has now reopened as a major cultural hub called Town Hall King’s Cross, hosting exhibitions and a cultural programme across art, music, theatre, fashion, dance and more. 

Having officially opened to the public on October 19, Town Hall has revealed its multi-room renovation all designed by British interior designer Tom Dixon. The newly made-over space includes the Vision Hall, an exhibition space with 13-metre-high ceilings and vast arched windows, and main exhibition area the Inner Space, with sleek marble floors, pillars and silver chrome accents. 

In the future Town Hall will host exhibitions, live talks, performances and more. Already programmed for 2025 are talks from Wicked star Cynthia Erivo, Richard Ayoade and philosopher Slavoj Žižek in conversation with YouTuber Alex O’Connor. The building is available for private hire for events, conferences, fashion shows and more. 

Town Hall is also going to launch a members’ club. You can sign up to hear updates about this on the Town Hall website here.
