The Victoria Hall, part of the Town Hall, is central Ealing’s largest community space. It was paid for by Victorian crowdfunding and is governed by a charitable Trust set up in 1893. It has served us for 126 years, hosting countless meetings, entertainments, protests, celebrations, examinations, exhibitions and more.
Ealing Council is trying to dispose of the Victoria Hall to hotel developers and its facilities will be as good as lost to the people for whom they were created. Not only that, but part of this Grade II-listed building would be destroyed to accommodate the hotel. The Victoria Hall is not the property of the Council. It has applied to the Charity Commission to be allowed to take control of the Trust that owns the Hall.

This scheme would be a very poor deal indeed for Ealing residents, who'd likely lose affordable access to extensive indoor facilities that have been serving the community for 126 years. For the full details of why, read our our analysis.
The Council seems to be prepared to let the whole of the Town Hall and Victoria Hall go for less than the price of a three-bedroom flat in Dickens Yard. That can’t be right.
The Charity Commission consultation that allows you to object to this scheme closed on Tuesday, 7 January 2020. The outcome of the consultation is expected to be known in between one and three months' time.
Here's how to object.
