Toynbee Hall, Whitechapel

Although Toynbee Hall was completed some while ago,the wider project of rebuilding the adjacent Profumo House and building new housing around the whole of the site, together with a landscaped forecourt has only just reached completion.

The Queen Anne style elevations of Hoole’s Toynbee Hall of 1885, previously hidden, can now be enjoyed by all passers-by on Commercial Street.

We have replaced the missing third gable on the street frontage, and added five zinc-clad gables to our new extension at the rear.
