English: The Victoria Hall, Ealing is a public hall belonging to the west London community of Ealing for their recreational use. It was conceived in 1886 by Charles Jones the first architect, engineer and surveyor of Ealing Council. Its construction as an extension to Ealing Town Hall was funded by public donations and its operations governed by the Victoria Hall Trust, established in 1893. In 2015 the Council announced plans to sell off the Grade II listed building to a development partner on a long lease. The plan led to protests by local residents’ groups who called for the Hall to continue to be available for use as a public asset. In July 2016 the Council announced an agreement with a hotel developer to convert part of the Town Hall and the Victoria Hall into a boutique hotel. The continuing controversy led to an investigation started in 2018 by the Charity Commission to consider whether the Council has the right to sell the Trust’s assets.
