Riverside view of the County Hall, the headquarters of London County Council for over sixty years. Designed by Ralph Knott and built in phases from 1913, it was opened by King George V and Queen Mary on 17th July 1922. The entire sanitary equipment was supplied and installed by Messrs Doulton. The Greater London County Council was abolished in 1986 by the then government and the County Hall riverside building was sold for \u00c2\u00a360million to Shirayama Shokusan Company Ltd, a private Japanese company. The building now houses two hotels, the London Aquarium, and ever-changing tourist attractions within the spaces.
