Bromley Town Hall

Bromley Town Hall is a town hall extension built between 1938 and 1939 by E Cowles Voysey, with assistance from John Ashton and John Brandon Jones, in a Neo-Georgian style. The building features a concrete frame clad with brown brick in Flemish bond, accented with Portland stone dressings. It has a steeply pitched hipped roof made of Westmorland slate, with two large brick stacks at the angles of the wings. The structure is two storeys high and has a window arrangement of 3:11:3.

The design includes a central section flanked by two projecting wings, each comprising three bays. The eaves cornice is coved in stone, and the tall first-floor sash windows have 15 panes, while the ground floor sashes have 12 panes, all featuring cambered heads. A deep stone plinth supports the building, and the central window is adorned with a stone architrave that includes a carved shield and two console brackets above, along with shell moulding at the base. The doorcase has a stone surround with a floral carving keystone and the motto "DUM CRESCO SPERO." It features four panelled double doors, with steps flanked by two stone shell-shaped planters and built-in flower beds. Lead rainwater heads are inscribed with the letter B for Bromley.

The wings also have 12-pane sashes on each floor and curved stone flower beds in the setback angles. The elevation facing Tweedy Road is curved and has two storeys with nine windows. The building is connected to the earlier Town Hall from 1906 by a two-storey pedestrian walkway. The elevation on Court Street is also two storeys high with five windows and features a doorcase with stone architraves.

Inside, there is an impressive partially top-lit Imperial staircase made of concrete with metal scrolled handrails, dominated by four giant fluted concrete columns clad in green marble. The walls are covered in acoustic plaster, and a panel flanking the entrance records the names of the mayors of Bromley. The first floor includes two panelled wooden doors divided by a pilaster, leading to the suite of mayoral chamber, committee and robing rooms, and principal offices, all of which retain their original panelling, fireplaces, and lavatory fittings. Original doors are present throughout the building.
