Hendon Town Hall

My fiancé and I came here for a marriage registration appointment and the registrar we dealt with was very helpful and nice. Actually everyone we interacted with on the day was very nice from the security guards who greeted us at the entrance and the secretary who confirmed our appointment at the desk. KUTGW

Be really careful when you park in the side street next to Hendon town hall there a is big black van constantly watching the street ready to give parking tickets, my pay by phone application wasn't working and they gave me a ticket straight away, I've contested the ticket but please be aware of this.

What a beautiful venue to get married at! I have photographed a few weddings here and each time we've always had more than enough options to choose from for photos. The stunning staircase and stone arches at the front of the building create a lovely backdrop for the couple. Not to mention the staff are always friendly and accommodating!

Nice place. Had to register a death, but also got married.

I am a professional photographer and photographed a few weddings there and always really enjoyed it! It's a really nice place to get married! The light is great and there's a lot of space that's really important for creating great photos. The marble stairs in the interior, the entrance of the building, the paintings on the upper floor and the hallway. The staff are amazing, and all registrars are friendly and helpful. A pleasure to photograph all my happy couples here.

The Queen's death was a momentous event and we will always remember where we were when we heard the news. It was clear from the build up during the day that after the initial shock, we were going to hear imminently. However, one carries on as normal and I went to Hendon Town Hall in North London for a meeting of the Local Pensions Board where I sit as the Independent Member. The meeting was held in the main Council chamber which was empty apart from us and there was nobody in the public gallery. The mood was relatively quiet and about half way through the Chair was told that the Queen had died. The meeting was brought to a close and we all stood for a minute silence under the Queen's portrait. Before leaving, I took a photograph to capture the moment.

As I waited for the bus home I reflected that I had been born just under the reign of George VI and there would now be another King. Like many people in 1953 my parents got a TV set For the occasion and we crowded round to watch the coronation. I went around telling everybody "I have seen the Queen's coronation on television".  As I held my rucksack with laptop because Council meetings had just become paperless, I reflected on what a different world it was then compared with now and whatever is to come.

I love this place. We got my son birth certificate in 2017 the day when it was heavy ❄️ snow, and the day we booked a ceremony for my husband he said, hope it's won't snow and here we go again, was showing on the day we came to ceremony, but not that heavy snow as in 2017.
Thanks for this friendly atmosphere for people who work there. Hope this year I will manage to pass my life in the UK and will come for my ceremony, for now 3 times failing.
