Discuss what you think is the best looking City Hall.

Ooh . . . tough one.

Some one needs to post a bunch of choices, cause I can't think of barely 5.

Monkey · July 9th, 2005, 09:07 PM

Okay, I'll start this off.

This is London's City Hall. The mayor Ken Livingstone works here.

Situated on the South Bank, near Tower Bridge, this building was designed by Norman Foster and built in 2002.

Singapore City Hall

Completed in 1929.

The building on the right

Some history:
In 1945, the Japanese surrendered to Lord Louis Mountbatten and Allied troops in front of this building.

In 1963, Malaysia was created and the announcement, led by Lee Kuan Yew took place here.

Singapore left the Malaysian Federation 2 years later.
