"Guildhall (Town Hall)" Top 5 Page for this destination Cambridge Things to Do Tip by Airpunk

Cambridge has no classic town hall, but the Guildhall. The Mayor and City Council of Cambridge have their see in there. The neoclassicist building was erected in 1939 at market square, but there have been government buildings on this spot since Henry III's reign in the 1320s. Before that, even the house of a Jewish merchant was recorded at this place.

Due to the small size, part of the city government has been moved to the Castle Hill area, where the county government and the law courts are located. Most areas of the town hall are not open for the public. However, the two halls (Large Hall and Small Hall) are often used for fairs, music concerts, conferences and private parties.
