Leeds Civic Hall, Leeds

Leeds Civil Hall is a civic building situated in the Millennium Square. Construction started in 1931 and after two years the hall was officially opened by the ruling monarch of that time, King George V. The building’s prominent architectural features include two massive owls covered with gold, which have become the symbol of Leeds. The beautiful Roman columns at the entrance are always attracting visitors and people walking by. Inside the Civic Hall there are several large rooms such as council chambers, meeting rooms and a banqueting hall, some of which are lined with Algerian marble and others with English walnut.
