The People’s Palace was a philanthropic endeavour to provide culture and entertainment to the people of East London.
The original People’s Palace was entirely based in what is now the Queens’ Building. It included a large concert hall called the Queens Hall, a library (now known as The Octagon), Winter Garden, swimming pool, gymnasium, gardens and tennis courts.
