We’ve partnered with Airbnb again to make the Open House Festival 2024 in London more open, accessible, and connected.
Just as we invite you to explore extraordinary architecture in the capital this September, Airbnb allows people to open up their homes to others inviting guests from all over the world to experience local life from their perspective. From sharing their self-builds to new-builds, historic homes to rare residences; opening their abode to the public is a rewarding experience for hosts and visitors. So, it’s no wonder that some Open House Festival Contributors are also Airbnb hosts, choosing to share their character-filled spare rooms or beautiful homes from time to time.
As hosts and guests will tell you, sharing space is a life-enriching and uplifting experience, offering the chance to connect with diverse and interesting people in local neighbourhoods.
We’re celebrating some of the Londoners who enjoy opening up their homes through Airbnb and Open House, sharing the power that architecture can have in connecting people to their city and their neighbourhood.
