Celebrate London’s architecture and community this September

From 13 to 21 September, London Open House Festival is the annual celebration of London’s best buildings.

During the festival, across all 33 London boroughs, many architecturally significant buildings will be open to the public on a drop in basis or for guided tours and events.

Festival director, Celia Mead, says “Each September, London Open House Festival brings people together from all walks of life across the capital to celebrate the architecture, culture, and communities that make this city so very special. We hope to inspire people with our mission to make London more open, accessible and inclusive”

London Open House Festival was established in 1992 as a one-day event with just 100 tickets. Today it is the largest free festival of its kind in the world and part of a global network of Open House Festivals taking place everywhere from New York to Lagos. 

A preview of the 2025 programme will be published on 16 July and bookings will open at midday on Wednesday 20 August. To book you will need to register for a free account
