[3][4] The new building, which was also designed by Charles Jones and in the same style but on a much larger scale, was built by Hugh Knight and officially opened by the Prince and Princess of Wales on 15 December 1888.

[5] The design involved an asymmetrical main frontage with eleven bays facing onto New Broadway; the central section featured a double round arched doorway on the ground floor; there were oriel windows on the first and second floors and a gable above flanked by turrets; the design also featured an off-centre clock tower with lancet windows and a spire.

[6] The building was significantly extended to the east, with a new octagonally towered entrance, to the designs of Ealing architect[8] George Fellowes Prynne in 1930.

[9] A large "spanner-shaped" building designed by Sidney Kaye, Eric Firmin & Partners was erected to the west of the town hall, as additional accommodation for council officers and their departments, in 1983.

[13] After a health and safety assessment identified concerns over the condition of the town hall, the council relocated its meetings to Perceval House in October 2023.
