About

Open House Festival is a two week celebration of London’s housing, architecture and neighbourhoods. 

The festival is led by a community of Londoners who, for the duration of the festival, open up buildings they either own, work or care for so that visitors can explore. Along with the festival contributors, over 500 volunteers come together to help open up London’s best buildings. 

Visitors can explore the full festival programme and all the different open buildings through the festival website, where they can sign-up and book onto tours of buildings or drop-in to openings and events. 

Along with open buildings, the festival has a programme of urban walks and tours, and is one of the best ways to learn about London’s history, architecture and the social significance of the diverse neighbourhoods of London.
