London:



The City Hall

The City Hall

The City Hall is the seat of the Mayor of London and the London Parliament. It is located on the bank of the river Thames, between London bridge and the famous mobile bridge. The building itself is quite modern, oval-shaped, and was officially opened in 2002. Norman Foster, the famous architect who designed numerous parliament and assembly buildings around Europe, was the designer of this building as well. The building has 10 floors and is 45 meters tall. It is encased in glass, which gives it its modern look, and the egg-shaped building’s energy efficiency was improved significantly thanks to the glass.

A small portion of the building is open for the public, offering you a chance to visit the balcony at the top of the building, which offers a wonderful view of London. Please inform yourself about the working hours when a visit to this balcony is possible. This can be done via the official webiste of the building, or by visiting it in person.

Even though this landmark is completely free to visit, we would like to mention that, due to it being small, the number of visitors is limited.

Entry to the City Parliament Building is free of charge.
