The Open House Festival occurs for two weeks in September, allowing public access to hundreds of normally closed buildings in London. Organized by Open City, the festival aims to promote architectural engagement within communities. The event includes various activities such as walking tours, workshops, and guided tours. Highlights for 2024 include visits to #Merky FC HQ and the Royal Courts of Justice. Some popular sites will require entry through a ballot system, with details released in August, and the festival aims to attract tens of thousands of visitors.
The charity Open City, whose mission is to make architecture and spaces more accessible to the communities that live around them, runs Open House Festival to encourage people to visit new places and engage with the city.
Each year the Open House Festival programme is packed with a range of events like walking tours, workshops, guided tours and a whole host of buildings open for drop-ins.
This year you can take a look inside the #Merky FC HQ football and community centre in Selhurst, the Royal Courts of Justice, and Walworth Town Hall.
There are also a few sites that are so popular, entry is run on a ballot system, and those places will be announced in early August.
