Open House London
Open House is a free event that provides an opportunity to celebrate and explore architecture and design in more than 800 buildings, walks, talks and tours across London.
In 2019 we partnered with Open City for a second year to celebrate what really makes Old Oak and Park Royal a ‘Great Place, In the Making’, by showcasing the unique culture, creativity and heritage that lies there.
This collaboration with Open City helps to highlight the diversity of activity that takes place in Park Royal and assist in building sense of place and a sense of pride among local people.
The Open House programme included a range of walking tours and activities over the weekend, along with buildings to visit. The 2019 list included: ArtWest Open Studios, Ace Cafe, Park Royal Fire Station, John Lewis and Partners Delivery Hub and the Old Torpedo Factory.
Key dates
This annual event runs over one weekend in September.
