London's annual showcase of all things architectural moves into view this weekend, throwing open the portals on some 700 properties of every conceivable type, size and shape across the capital.
The weekend is also about opening eyes and minds to good design; there's a focus, too, on sustainability and eco building: look out for the Sunken House in Hackney and Kensal Green's Portland Road development.While the Lloyd's building, City Hall, Tower 42 and Centre Point continue to attract attention,Open House is about venturing further afield to say, Bromley or Neasden for unsung marvels such as The Berresford House and Churchill's underground bunker.
Plus, the Night Hike returns once again, offering people the chance to walk through late night London and raise funds for cancer charity Maggie's at the same time.
Open House London, Saturday 19 - Sunday 20 September, various venues. Free admission. Opening hours vary as do tour times. Some venues require advance booking.

that's a cool shot of the tower 42. i was there this morning at the lloyds building. surprisingly, the queue wasn't that bad. we were in the building within, what, half an hour.
ReplyDeletethe building is absolutely stunning. it's my second time i've been there & still want to go back. so envy the people who's working there.
anyhow, i love your lloyds buiding too. great job. keep up the good work!
Mum - A.K.A Gloria, thank you!
ReplyDeletethe ninth sunn - I wish i was able to take advantage of London's open house weekend. I was to busy to attend. However from your comments i gather it was well worth it and I can imagine the photo opportunities must of been amazing!.
