History

The building, which was designed by George Elkington in the Italianate style as a vestry hall, was completed in 1879.[2] It became the headquarters of Penge Urban District in 1900 and was extended to incorporate a council chamber and committee rooms in 1911 before being expanded further to create court facilities in 1925.[3] It ceased to be the local seat of government when the enlarged London Borough of Bromley was formed in 1965.[4] It was converted for library and community use in 1987 and converted again, this time into a series of commercial offices, in 2003.[3]
