Description

Description
The Grocers Wing is set within the Grade II listed former Royal London Hospital building that has been brought back to community use as the new Town Hall and headquarters for the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

Offering a fully glazed front and self contained entrance from Whitechapel Road, upon entering you are greeted by an expansive space offering in excess of 4m ceiling heights, modern LED lighting and air conditioning throughout. Engineered wood floors with exposed cast columns offer a warehouse style finish complemented by the exposed brickwork of the restored exterior of the old Royal Hospital Building.

The floor offers 13,977 sq ft with a raised area to the rear overlooking the landscaped courtyard between the New Royal London Hospital Main Entrance and the Town Hall.

We believe the space lends itself to self to Events, Banqueting and Restaurant uses.

Location
Tower Hamlets Town Hall is located on Whitechapel Road (A11) in the heart of vibrant Whitechapel - directly opposite the entrance of Whitechapel Station.

The recently refurbished Whitechapel Station now offers extensive transport links across London including the Elizabeth Line, Windrush Line, District Line and the City & Hammersmith Line.

Various bus routes also serve this section of Whitechapel Road - giving easy access to the City and North & East London.

Whitechapel Market trades daily opposite the Town Hall and a diverse range of national and local retailers are all within walking distance.
