Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) has announced that Hornsey Town Hall has been given initial support for a £3.7 million bid including £482,600 of development funding.

An impressive example of 1930s British Modernism, Hornsey Town Hall which has been out of regular use for the last nine years. The green light from HLF will mean plans to conserve the hall can be progressed. Once restored, the hall will be used as an arts, performance and cultural heritage centre for Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts and the wider community.
