City Hall is a building in Southwark, London, which previously served as the headquarters of the Greater London Authority (GLA) between July 2002 and December 2021. It is located in the London Borough of Southwark, on the south bank of the River Thames near Tower Bridge. In June 2020, the GLA started a consultation on proposals to vacate City Hall and move to The Crystal, a GLA-owned property in Newham, at the end of 2021.^[2] The decision was confirmed on 3 November 2020 and the GLA vacated City Hall on 2 December 2021.^[3] The Southwark location is ultimately owned by the government of Kuwait.^[4]
