How Leeds Town Hall appears
Leeds Town Hall appears in the series as an art gallery and in scenes linked to Tommy's political life. The story sets these scenes in Birmingham or London; the building is one of the great Victorian civic halls of the north, with a tall clock tower and a huge columned front on The Headrow. Its formal, imposing spaces suit the world of power and influence Tommy moves into in later series.
The real place
What you can visit
The town hall is a concert and events venue owned by Leeds City Council. The building has been through a major refurbishment programme, and interior access depends on its reopening and events calendar, so check the council's venue information before you plan to go inside. The exterior and the steps on Victoria Square are free to see, and the Leeds Art Gallery and Central Library sit next door.
Building works can screen parts of the frontage. Victoria Square gives the best view of the full facade.
