What people say about Open House
“The contrasts of London’s architecture are the genius of its beauty. No other city in the world brings together so well the historic and the new, or can delight the eye with a range of styles from Corinthian marble to Modernist steel. Open House London celebrates this wonderful melange, and gives Londoners a rare insight into the best of our buildings. I fully support its work and wish it every success.”
Boris Johnson, Mayor of London
“British Land is pleased to be a Supporter of Open-City and looks forward to welcoming visitors to our City and West End office buildings. The design and ongoing management of the offices are based on the needs of the occupier and we are pleased to have the opportunity to explain the wider benefits of choosing architecture that enhances the existing streetscape, and implements the latest in sustainable development.”
Paul Burgess, Head of London Leasing, British Land
“Science’s place in society has never been more important, not least in the way we plan, design and build cities. I am therefore delighted that during our 350th anniversary year, we are working with Open-City to highlight the important connections between science, architecture, technology and design.”
Martin Rees, President, Royal Society
“Grand, famous, small, obscure, London’s buildings open for us this weekend. What I find really exciting though is an insight into sometimes extraordinary personal spaces. One’s spirit is totally lifted by the experience.”
Margaret Howell, Fashion Designer
“One of my favourite events of the year, Open House offers the unparalleled opportunity to step inside the capital’s most interesting buildings. The vast selection of buildings on offer span from the peculiar to the paramount. This is a first class education in architecture, and it’s free.”
Christine Murray, Editor, Architects Journal
“When Open House throws open the portals of so many otherwise inaccessible London buildings, it also opens our eyes to the surprising variety of architectures in our midst and our minds to infinite possibilities of the built environment. For years now we have covered this
staggeringly successful cultural event on my daily show. With Open House, Londoners learn a little more about the city we share.”
