For those of us who spend our spare time on Rightmove, fawning over beautiful homes or setting the price filter well beyond our budgets, the annual Open House Festival is almost too good to be true: a chance to explore other people’s real-life homes.
Every year, spaces which are usually behind closed doors —homes, offices, landmark architectural projects—are opened to the public. This year’s event, which runs between 13 and 21 September, includes over 800 free open days across London, according to organisers Open City.
