Description

Paddington Town Hall is less than 5km from the CBD of Sydney, in the heart of Sydney’s fashionable Paddington district. It was completed in 1891 in a Municipal Renaissance style exhibiting typical Victorian grandeur.

The site is adjacent to the Victoria Barracks and it was built on the top of the ridge to allow the clock tower to majestically rise above the surrounding neighbourhood. The Clock Tower was completed in 1905 to commemorate the coronation of King Edward VII with an inscribed clock face in his honour. The Building has two storey facades along Oxford Street and Oatley Road featuring arched windows flanked by Corinthian pilasters. This stunning unique venue boasts a magnificent grand hall with an impressive balcony that runs the full length of the building with views of the city skyline.

Paddington Town Hall is right in the heart of arguably Australia's trendiest & most popular shopping precinct, Oxford St Paddington attracts Sydneysiders from far & wide looking to get their retail shopping fix.
