Lambeth Town Hall Clock Tower, Brixton, London. Formed in 1900, the Metropolitan Borough of Lambeth soon found its Vestry Hall, Kennington premises too cramped and, after some opposition from the north of the borough, decided to relocate to Brixton. The corner of Brixton Hill and Acre Lane was chosen as the site for a new central Town Hall and an architectural competition launched. Out of the 143 entries, two architects stood out – Septimus Warwick and Herbert Hall. Opened by the Prince (later George V) and Princess of Wales in 1908, the town hall was created in the Edwardian Baroque style, topped off with distinctive 134 foot tower.
