Open House London is the capital’s largest annual festival of architecture and design, giving the public access to over 750 architecturally-important homes and buildings for one weekend.
This year the festival will take place over the 17-18 September, with many of the city’s most iconic buildings opening their doors to visitors.
The festival is free, with most buildings offering tours on a first-come, first-served basis. Highlights include the iconic Isokon flats, Hampstead, Goldfinger’s brutalist Trellick Tower, and Frederick Gibberd’s Pullman Court, Streatham. Pricegore’s House for a Painter – currently on the market with The Modern House – will also be open during the weekend, giving visitors the opportunity to meet the architect, Dingle Price, as well as the current owner.
