Open House Festival returns
Open House Festival is returning this month with many unique buildings in the borough to explore. Running from 13th until 21st September, this is a rare chance to explore some of the most remarkable homes, buildings, and landscapes in the capital.
With over 800 free events, buildings all over London will open their doors to the public over the week-long celebrations. In Hammersmith, 19 spots around the borough are planning to take part in Open House Festival.
Among them is Fulham Palace. The beautiful Tudor building in Bishop’s Avenue is offering the chance to explore its ancient moat, a part of the grounds that is usually closed to the public. Be sure to book a guided tour of the moat on Saturday 13th September.
You can also take a self-guided tour along the 13 acres of botanical and walled gardens during the entire week of the festival.
Sands End Arts & Community Centre in Peterborough Road is another one you won’t want to miss. The beautiful community centre is complete with bright event spaces, a dance studio, and café. Built by the council, the modern architectural gem was crowned 2022’s best new building in London by the Royal Institute of British Architects and even shortlisted for the 2022 Stirling prize. Book a guided tour of the award-winning building on Saturday 13th September.
These are just two of the many buildings and events on offer during the Open House Festival. Be sure to check out the full programme of events in the borough and see what architectural wonders there are to discover.
