Former town hall on Haverstock Hill, opened in 1878 as Hampstead Vestry Hall designed by the architects Henry E Kendall and Frederick Mew. in the 1960s Hampstead was incorporated in Camden Borough and the main council functions moved away in 1965 to St Pancras Town Hall, although the building retained a civic role. However these had ceased by the 1990s and with disuse the building had fallen into disrepair. However a successful campaign led to its restoration by Burrell, Foley and Fisher, with lottery funding, and it re-opened in 1999 as an arts centre. Grade II listed - see https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1378818?section=official-list-entry.
