Open House Weekend 20-21 September

This is the weekend when the public are invited – free of charge - to view buildings in London that are generally closed for most of the year. It is the time when we can all delight in the variety of London’s built environment. The buildings are new and old, grand and tiny, from house extensions to government ministries.

Among the themes being explored this year are Homes and housing, Art in the public realm and Greening the city. There are opportunities to meet architects and designers as well as the people who live or work in the buildings.
