[2] Instead it was decided to extend an existing building on High Holborn which had been designed by William Rushworth in the French Renaissance style and which had opened as a public library in 1894.

[2] The works were carried out by John Greenwood Limited and the new town hall was officially opened by the Lord Mayor, Sir George Truscott, on 13 October 1908.

[4] A wrought-iron balcony bearing a borough coat of arms made by the Bromsgrove Guild of Applied Arts was installed in the middle of the central section on the first floor.

[6] A plaque, manufactured by De La Rue,[7] commemorating the efforts of the borough in contributing to the Wings for Victory Week, was erected on the wall just inside the right hand doorway in 1943.

[9] The building on High Holborn ceased to function as the local of seat of government when the enlarged London Borough of Camden was formed in 1965[10] and was subsequently converted for alternative uses including restaurant use (on the ground floor) and offices (above).
