You may have heard of or visited the iconic modernist Hornsey Town Hall closed for a decade while Haringey ponders its future. But did you know you could do an expert tour of the Town Hall on Sundays for the next couple of months, and hear about the personalities associated with the building.

Who fought a notorious by-election in Hornsey in 1941? Who won the architectural competition to design the Town Hall? Why did the Hornsey mayor cry during his own speech during the opening ceremony? When did Queen play the Assembly Hall?
