It’s that time of year again and one of our favourite activities here at the Runoff…..sticking our noses where they don’t belong! From 6 to 17 September is the Open House London Festival, celebrating London’s housing, architecture and neighbourhoods by flinging open doors and streets not usually open to the public. We have a few suggestion for you and they are all FREE, and we love free.
Most Open House venues have friendly staff on hand to tell you more about what you’re seeing and there are often things to read. If you look on the website you’ll see some local bookable things, but I’m afraid you’ve missed the boat on those babies. The venues listed below are open to the public on specific dates. However, if you possess the audacious gaul to travel out of Greater Kennington you might find there are hundreds more free things to stick your head into around the capital. But we couldn’t possibly encourage that kind of behaviour.
