The Council is seeking proposals for a long leasehold interest in Ealing Town Hall. The opportunity will appeal to a Purchaser who can realise the opportunity to convert the larger part of the Town Hall into commercial use.

There will be a lease back to the Council of the eastern end of the building which contains the Council Chamber, areas required by the Council for meetings, wedding and citizenship ceremonies and office accommodation which will continue to be used by Councillors.

New uses must be compatible with continuing democratic functions in the eastern end of the building. There will also need to be public access to the building and provision of rooms, including the Victoria Hall, for hire by community and commercial organisations on a similar basis to existing provision.

This opportunity to acquire the Town Hall has been put to the market by the publication of a notice in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU).

Tender documents can be found on the London Tenders Procurement Portal (The Portal) www.londontenders.org. Interested parties are required to submit completed Pre-Qualification Questionnaires (PQQs) through the London Portal as set out later in the brochure.

Background information regarding this opportunity can be found in the data room at www.ealingtownhall.london.

Plans and photographs contained within the data room indicate the current layout of the building and illustrate the potential for alternative hotel use.
