The Old Town Hall is a Victorian town hall standing on the High Street in Poplar, Middlesex, and now occupied as offices. It was built in 1870 and served the Poplar District Board of Works as its headquarters, until 1900 when it was inherited by a new Borough of Poplar.
As the workload expanded, the town hall was extended at the northern end in 1920. It continued as Poplar's town hall until 1938, when the council moved to the new, modernist Poplar Town Hall in Bow Road.
The Old Town Hall is a Grade II listed building,[1]
