Council House Clock

Photograph at the Council House Clock bronze plaque

Birmingham's Council House stands as the administrative heart of the city, housing the Birmingham City Council and serving as the centre for local governance. Within its walls are spaces for both council officers and elected members, alongside the ceremonial Council Chamber, the Lord Mayor's Suite, and impressive banqueting facilities. The building's notable exterior balcony, situated on the first floor, has often been a platform for distinguished guests and celebrating sports figures to address the public gathered in Victoria Square below.

Located centrally in Victoria Square, the Council House is a significant civic landmark, holding Grade II* listed building status. Its presence defines a key area of the city, with one side facing Chamberlain Square, which also serves as the main entrance and facade for the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, itself partly situated within this grand structure.
