' Old Vestry/Town Hall (Grade II listed): No. 151 Walworth Road was built c.1864-65 by the architect Henry Jarvis as a Vestry Hall for the Parish of St. Mary, Newington. It is the second oldest surviving Vestry Hall in London. No. 151 Walworth Road is an eclectic mix of French Second Empire and High Victorian Gothic; the red brick building has white brick trim and stone dressings and a distinctive mansard roof, with fish scale slates to the pavilions. Around 1900 the building was extended along Wansey Street and remained the Town Hall for the Borough of Southwark until 1965. No. 151 Walworth Road housed the municipal offices for Southwark Council until it was badly fire damaged in 2013 and is currently being restored. '
