Open House London Annual Event invites people to experience, explore, and understand architecture, design and the built environment. As London’s largest architecture festival, each September over 600 buildings new and old all over London celebrate design excellence by opening their doors at no charge to the public, all within 48 hours!

Londoners are given direct access to the teams that design, construct, conserve and regenerate their environment. Alongside this are special programmes, activities and publications.

Buildings in the London Bridge area that took part in 2007 included City Hall, More London, and The Old Operating Theatre Museum & Herb Garret.

Open House is an architecture education charity committed to raising the standard of London's built environment. To do this we develop innovative programmes for the public, young people, and decision- makers, encouraging them to connect and engage with their local surroundings.
