The Grade II listed former Town Hall in Friern Barnet Lane was built in 1939–41 to a design by Sir John Brown and A.E. Henson. The design owes much to that of Watford Town Hall, whose architect (Charles Cowles-Voysey) had played a pivotal role in judging the design competition. Nevertheless, English Heritage lists it as "a good example of pared-down modernism ... its subtle form and pronounced sense of civic pride mark it out as an exceptional civic building, on this scale, of its day".
