Kingsley Hall (grid reference ST596731 ) is at 59 Old Market Street in Old Market, Bristol, England.
The hall was built as a private house in 1706 and restored in the late 19th century for use as a political club and office premises. It was originally occupied by the East Bristol Conservative Party. [1] In 1911 it became the Bristol headquarters of the Independent Labour Party who renamed it in honour of the Christian Socialist Charles Kingsley. [2]
In January 1959, it was designated as a Grade II* listed building. [3]
It is now used as offices by 1625 Independent People, a charity housing young people. [4] [5]
In January 2025, the building was awarded £4.7 million in funding to renovate it into a community hub with accommodation, a "skills kitchen", and a café to help young people who have experienced homelessness or been in care build skills, improve their wellbeing, and access training and jobs. [6]
