London - a liveable city
Good design plays a crucial role in creating a vibrant and ‘liveable’ city – a place with pleasant environments where people want to live and work. Open House London is the annual opportunity to discover this at first hand, all over London, and to find out more about issues that are relevant to your local area – from the design of homes, the impact of climate change, good infrastructure and the role of designers in revitalising places and landscapes.
Open House is unique in that you see, hear and talk about great architecture and design at first hand. Whether it’s a renewed look at your own neighbourhood or exploration of a new area, our open buildings and expert-led tours will affect how you feel about your city and the way we live.
In 2011 we ran walks in Barking Central, Woolwich, and Dalston Regeneration to see how whole quarters are being transformed. Other events such as the Children’s City, a Meanwhile London project, encouraged communities to consider their corner of London a more liveable place.

“High quality design in our buildings helps to create successful neighbourhoods, and getting the chance to see this architecture in the flesh is a great opportunity to find out more about the role design plays in our lives, from combating climate change, to providing spaces where our young people can thrive, to creating places where we can relax “
