Ealing Town Hall was built in 1886, replacing an earlier hall on the same site. The architect was Charles Jones , who also designed several other buildings and features in the borough. The borough was greatly enlarged in 1926 when it absorbed the urban districts of Greenford (including the parishes of Perivale and West Twyford ) and Hanwell . [ 2 ]
The building was significantly extended to the east, with a new octagonally towered entrance, to the designs of Ealing architect [8] George Fellowes Prynne in 1930. [6] Internally, the extension created a new council chamber and a mayor's parlour as well as a new public hall in the basement which became known as the "Queens Hall".
