The Council House is the city hall of Nottingham, England. Its 200 foot-high dome dominates a city skyline which is packed with elegant architecture and presides magnificently over the Old Market Square, the grand central open space of Nottingham. It is claimed that the chimes of Little John (the deepest bell in the United Kingdom) can be heard for a distance of seven miles around the building itself. The Council House was designed by Thomas Cecil Howitt and built between 1927 and 1929 in the neo-Baroque style. The building was officially opened by H.R.H the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VIII and the Duke of Windsor) on 22 May 1929.

It has staged many glittering occasions; royalty, statesmen and women and stars of the stage and screen have been entertained there and both the F.A. and European Cups have been held aloft from its balcony.
