Open House Festival is a London-wide festival that opens up and celebrates the city’s architecture, special sites and neighbourhoods, with open days and events taking place across all 33 London boroughs. The festival is a unique opportunity to explore the city’s most remarkable homes, buildings and landscapes, and learn about London’s heritage, design and communities.
If you plan to come along to the Open House Festival, please register for a visitor account, so that you can book places on ticketed events from across the programme as well as enter ballots to visit buildings that are in very high demand.
If you have an account from previous years, you don’t need to register again.
Open House Festival is run by Open City, a charity dedicated to making architecture, special sites and neighbourhoods more open, accessible and equitable. If you enjoy the festival and would like to support us to keep staging it, while at the same time enjoying a year-round programme of specially curated tours and events, please consider becoming an Open City Friend.
Your support will enable life-changing educational programmes for children and young people from under-represented communities, help open up critical debate on the big issues that shape the urban landscape today by supporting Open City’s year-round programme of free podcasts, films and advocacy, and help us to keep running the Open House Festival, allowing tens of thousands of people access to places and conversations they are normally locked out of.
