Open House Festival 2025

The Open House Festival is an annual celebration of London's architecture and neighbourhoods, and the people and communities that make them. Every year, buildings and other sites across all 33 London boroughs open to the public, so that Londoners can explore and learn about them for free.

This year’s festival will take place 13-21 September 2025.

“I always loved London. Open House just makes me discover new reasons to love it.”
