Open House London 2016
Open House London is a yearly event that opens the doors of hundreds of properties throughout London many of which are not normally open to the public. The queues for popular properties can often be hours long and others are only available for pre-booked visits only. If you are interested in seeing particular properties or want to make the best use of your time I would advise you purchase the guide book that comes on sale a few months ahead of the event. The sheer scope of this is incredible so the information is very helpful.
The event is held on a weekend in September but this year, 2016, I ended up only visiting on the Saturday, though, as always, I tended to overdo it a bit…This year I kept in the Fleet Street/Lincoln's Inn area as it is an area I am not really familiar with but is quite close to where I have worked for years.
