City Hall - weekend opening

City Hall, the headquarters of the Greater London Authority, is open to the public on set weekends throughout the year. Visitors have the opportunity to see and walk around some areas that are not normally open to the public during the week. This includes the Chamber, a purpose-built space for meetings and debates; London's Living Room, an open space on the top floor with a walkway around the perimeter offering panoramic views; and the spiral ramp/stairs, which winds its way through the building, offering glimpses of the open-plan offices and the Mayor's Conference Room and views of the Thames and the Tower of London.

Please note:

• These dates are subject to alteration at late notice. If you are planning a visit you are advised to call the Public Liaison Unit (020 7983 4100) in advance to confirm that City Hall will be open.
• The Café on the lower ground floor will be open during the above open hours.
• Last entry will be at 4.30pm and City Hall will close at 5pm (except London Open House weekend).
• The ramp may be closed on Sunday lunchtimes for up to 1 hour for BBC filming.
• It may be necessary to close the external balcony during inclement weather.
