Open House London This Weekend

Take advantage of free public access to over 800 buildings throughout the Capital

Hanwell Community Centre has been included for the first time in Open London which will be happening this weekend (22/23 September).

More than 800 buildings of all kinds will open their doors alongside a programme of neighbourhood walks and architect-led tours – all for free. Some events require pre-booking so please check in advance.

This year’s programme explores how the new London that has been emerging the past 20 years is finally coming to fruition. New buildings, new kinds of buildings, new districts, new approaches to regeneration, women taking a leading role in making London, engineering excellence underpinning the capital’s successful reinvention – these all show how good design can make London a more enjoyable and vibrant city in which to live and work.

Rory Olcayto, Open City’s director say, "From Hackney Wick to Park Royal, Wembley to Nine Elms and the ever-changing Kings Cross, Open House is shining a light on the places shaping the capital with striking landmark buildings and new approaches to town planning. The cubic futurism of the American Embassy, Here East’s Day-glo ‘fun palace’ and the cool, sculptural qualities of the Aga Khan’s HQ are real stand-outs this year."

There are a host of places opening in Ealing ( nb some require prebooking) including the historic St Mary The Virgin in Perivale, The White House and Pitzhanger Manor and Gallery .

See here for more details of Ealing openings.
