Current Use
The hall currently houses the Limehouse Town Hall Consortium Trust which has a long lease on the building from Tower Hamlets Council, and is home to several groups, such as The Boxing Club (Today this is no longer a boxing club, but a group which hires spaces and arranges occasional events, mostly to raise money for the upkeep of the venue.), Space Hijackers, Twenteenth Century(disappeared), Primal Pictures, Stitches in Time, the University of Openness and Creative Week. Tower Hamlets Wheelers, the local borough group of London Cycling Campaign, also hold monthly self-help bicycle maintenance workshops at the venue.
The building is not generally open to the public, but participates in Open House London for guided tours of the building.
The building is next to St Anne's Limehouse, a significant Hawksmoor church; and also adjacent to Limehouse Cut, a canal built to provide a short cut from the Lee Navigation to Limehouse Basin.
The nearest Docklands Light Railway station is Limehouse.
