Town Hall of Your City & Around

Can you post the town hall of your city?
I start with my city:

Cagliari Town Hall (XIX Century, Neoghotic & Catalan style)

Best image I could find for my town of Chesham, Buckinghamshire. Built in 1998 after Sainsburys purchased the land on which the previous town hall was situated on.



And London's city hall opened in July 2002 and designed by Norman Foster.

Despite the name, City Hall is neither located in nor does it serve a city (as recognised by English constitutional law), often adding to the confusion of Greater London with the City of London, whose headquarters is in the Guildhall, north of the Thames.

Guildhall, London. Parts of the current building date from 1400



It has been used as a town hall for several hundred years, and is still the ceremonial and administrative centre of the City of London (which should not be confused with Greater London, of which it is only a very small part)
