Hornsey Town Hall is set to be transformed into a major new multi-million pound arts centre in Crouch End, London, under proposals submitted by Haringey Council.

Plans for the renovation of the Grade II*-listed building, which was initially designed by Reginald Uren and opened during the 1930s, have been drawn up by architects John McAslan and Partners. Capita Symonds has been appointed to project manage the Hornsey Town Hall redevelopment, which will see the building's assembly room transformed into a two-screen arthouse cinema and a flexible performance and music space.

Creative studios for artists and designers; recording studios; a bar and café; events space for civic and social ceremonies and youth facilities are also proposed, along with a rooftop terrace. The area surrounding the building will also be revamped to offer new outdoor courtyards as part of the scheme, which will be part-funded by Haringey Council.

Meanwhile, Hornsey Town Hall Creative Trust - formed in 2007 - will take on the lease of the building from the council and will be responsible for its future operation.
