  • In the weeks before Christmas day in December, the Lord Mayor of London makes a speech in front of invited guests and VIPs, hosting his annual party in the Great Hall at his official town hall - the Guildhall - in the historic financial district of the City of London. Inviting Greater London's borough Mayors, they can each invite worthy children for an afternoon's fancy dress party. The Guildhall has been used as a town hall for several hundred years, and is still the ceremonial centre of the City of London. The term Guildhall refers both to the whole building and to its main room, which is a medieval style great hall similar to those at many Oxbridge colleges. The great hall is believed to be on the site of an earlier Guildhall, and has large mediaeval crypts underneath. During the Roman period it was the site of an amphitheatre, the largest in Britannia.

  • A wide view of Manchester Town Hall in Albert Square bathed in late afternoon orange light. The statue of an unknown public figure stands prominently with his arm raised towards this Victorian-era, Neo-gothic municipal building in Manchester, England. The building functions as the ceremonial headquarters of Manchester City Council and houses a number of local government departments but here, the 5 Olympic rings hang from the building's facade, a gesture for when the city was the bidding candidate for the 1996 and 2000 Olympics. Completed by architect Alfred Waterhouse in 1877, the building features imposing murals by the artist Ford Madox Brown depicting important events in the history of the city.

  • City workers relax during lunchtime outside St Botolph's Church Hall. Originally an infants' school, St Botolph's Church Hall stands in the churchyard of the Church of St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate. The entrance to the hall is flanked by two Coade stone statues of a schoolboy and schoolgirl wearing 19th century costume. The original Saxon church, the foundations of which were discovered when the present church was erected, is first mentioned as ‘Sancti Botolfi Extra Bishopesgate’ in 1212. St. Botolph without Bishopsgate may have survived the Great Fire of London unscathed, and only lost one window in the Second World War, but on 24 April 1993 was one of the many buildings to be damaged by an IRA bomb.
