ForLook Interior Design

Every year, at the end of September, many public and private buildings open their doors so that more people can experience London’s diverse architecture. Designers, architects and non-professionals can take a look at famous buildings as well as presidential properties for ideas, inspirations and insights of history. This coming weekend you can choose from 699 buildings around the capital, so it’s time to plan your itinerary!..

Also, even if you’re mainly interested in residential architecture, check out what else is open in your area or the area you want to visit your chosen buildings - you never know, you might find some other really fascinating architecture to enjoy! On the website you can search by postcode and/or the types of buildings you like.

Finally, let’s hope that the weather will be kind and allow us to have a lovely architectural weekend! Enjoy!
