Open House London

Open House London takes place every year in September in the UK capital. Billed as London’s “greatest architectural showcase”, the event is a time when buildings that are normally closed to the public open their doors for two days free of charge.

Over 700 buildings throughout London are on show over the weekend of the Open House, allowing visitors to see the interiors of normally-hidden spaces in the capital.

Walks, talks, and even cycle tours are all part of the celebration of Open House London. There are also competitions for the best architectural photographs.

Every year the event features a different set of buildings. Most of them are open to all who come, while a few are only open to those that sign up in advance.

Make sure to check the official Open House London Guide in advance to make sure that the buildings you want to see are open.
