Open House weekend is back! Once again hundreds of buildings normally closed to the public will open up for free this weekend, including City Hall.
Open House is a brilliant way to celebrate London’s amazing architecture. It’s a chance to see everything from social housing in Whitechapel, to the viewing gallery in the Gherkin and even the Foreign Office in Westminster.
City Hall will be open on Saturday 17 September, so come and take a look around the building. You can also visit our #LondonIsOpen exhibition, commissioned by
Art on the Underground, which features the artworks that have featured as posters on London’s transport network.
This includes:
- David Shrigley, ‘London: Everyone Welcome’, 2016
- Gillian Wearing OBE, ‘Work Towards World Peace’, 1992–1993
- Hew Locke and Indra Khanna, ‘Mappa Mundi’, 2016
- Tania Bruguera, ‘The Francis Effect’, 2014
- Mark Titchner, ‘No Them Only Us’, 2016
- Jeremy Deller, ‘London & On & On’, 2016
- Sol Calero, ‘Londres abierto’, 2016
- Bedwyr Williams, ‘Nobody Gets My Goat’, 2016
The #LondonIsOpen designs from the creative open call will also be on display throughout City Hall.
Below is a list of ‘must-see’ venues as recommended by Open House. You can visit these places for free from 17 – 18 September.
