A Town Hall, in the United Kingdom and many Commonwealth countries, is a centre of local government, usually housing the town or city council, its associated departments and their employees.
A town hall can be located in any size of village, town or city. Notable examples include Birmingham Town Hall, Manchester Town Hall, Leeds Town Hall, Sheffield Town Hall in the UK, and the Melbourne Town Hall and Sydney Town Hall in Australia.
The town hall is usually the base of the ceremonial mayor of the borough or county, as well as the council leader and the rest of the democratically elected councillors.
In larger cities of the United States the building is usually called a city hall; town halls are found in smaller urban areas.
