An iconic site for radical and cultural activism, in recent times the building has fallen into disuse. The Hall is owned by the Willesden Trades Hall Charity who is a grateful recipient of resilience funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund and The Architectural Heritage Fund. We are now commencing the reinvigoration of this legacy building for the twenty first century and the Trustees have appointed the London Historic Buildings Trust as Project Managers for a year long funded resilience project. During this period, in consultation with stakeholders and local communities, we aim to define how this building’s rich legacies can migrate into the future.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/1beb34b0-dd8a-11f0-b36b-5d9803065998-rimg-w523-h740-dcfffefe-gmir.jpg
