County Hall is a former municipal building in Penrhyn Road, Kingston upon Thames, England.
The first meeting in the building was held on 17 October 1893,[9] and it was officially opened with bands playing on 13 November 1893.
[11] The design for the original building (the north east section of the current complex), which was faced in Portland stone, involved an asymmetrical main frontage with seven bays facing onto Penrhyn Road; the central section featured an arched doorway which was projected forward and a clock tower with a belfry and a dome above.
[5] An extension to the west of the original block, designed by E. Vincent Harris, was opened by the Duke of Gloucester in 1930.
In July 2003, the county council decided to procure new facilities in Woking in Surrey and to sell County Hall;[13] that project, which would have been procured under a private finance initiative contract, was abandoned because of its high cost in January 2006.
