Open House London

For just one weekend each year, you can roam around hundreds of London buildings – and are given free rein to take photographs.

I close an eclectic clutch, from a daunting 1960s tower block to old properties with grand, lofty ceilings. You can read more about the individual buildings by following the links beneath the gallery.

A great summary of a great weekend! Sadly it always falls on my anniversary weekend, so it’s unlikely I’d ever be able to make it! :-/

I really love the Strand East Tower, is this really in London? It has a feel of a coastal building, perhaps because of the name. Beautiful structure and wonderful photographed!

  Thanks Koos! And I agree, it was the most pleasing find. It’s in east London near the Olympic Park and next to the water, so perhaps you have hit on something there.
