COUNTY HALL
County Hall, siège du Conseil du Comté de Londres, situé sur la rive droite de la Tamise près du pont de Westminster, est un excellent
exemple d'architecture moderne. C'est le Roi Georges V qui en posa la première pierre en 1912 et qui l'inaugura le 17 juillet 1922. Le
Conseil du Comté de Londres compte parmi les administrations régionales les plus importantes du monde. C'est lui qui dirige les principaux
services administratifs et sociaux de la région la plus peuplée des Iles Britanniques. Le Conseil du Comté de Londres a été constitué en
1888 et relie administrativement les vingt-huit arrondissements de la capitale.

[London: Heart of the British Commonwealth. The County Hall. One of the finest examples of modern architecture, the County Hall,
headquarters of the London County Council, is on the Lambeth side of Westminster Bridge. The foundation stone of the building was laid by
King George V in 1912 and the opening ceremony was performed by him on July 17th, 1922. The London County Council is one of the largest
local government authorities in the world and controls the principal social services of the most densely populated region in the British
Isles. It was constituted in 1888 and links together, for administrative purposes, twenty-eight metropolitan boroughs. For
victory.]
