Application submitted to 'revamp and redecorate' trendy Islington Town Hall
Over the years, many famous faces, including Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, have tied the knot at Islington Town Hall.
The Islington Town Hall requires some repairs, according to a planning notice.
According to the planning application (P2025/2306/FUL P2025/2307/LBC), proposals include external structural repairs and redecoration.
The famous façade is stone-clad with classical detailing: Corinthian pilasters, an imposing porch with the borough coat of arms, and full-height windows.
It was built to replace an older vestry hall (mid-19th century) that had become inadequate. Edward Charles Philip Monson designed it in a Neoclassical / Edwardian Baroque style.
Over the years, several notable figures and celebrities have tied the knot at Islington Town Hall, including Sir Paul McCartney and Linda Eastman in 1969, Ringo Starr and Barbara Bach in 1981 and Liam Gallagher and Patsy Kensit in 1997.
More recently, reality TV stars Georgia Kousoulou and Tommy Mallet married there in 2023.
Here’s what the full planning application says: “Town Hall, Upper Street, London, N1 2UD
“The proposals comprise external structural masonry repairs, and timber door repairs/ redecoration across the external elevations of the Town Hall. Included in these proposals are mortar repairs, masonry repairs, isolated replacement of masonry on a like-for-like basis, and timber repairs using a mixture of traditional joinery techniques and 'Repair Care' methods.”
