Each year, over a quarter of a million people take advantage of the festival to glimpse London’s hidden treasures, take tours, and listen to talks throughout the city. Lots of spaces require pre-booking, so get on it if there are particular buildings you’re keen to visit.
Key dates for 2024:
18 July at midday – programme preview will be up on the festival website, so visitors will be able to view dates and times of open days and events, but not book 16 August at midday – volunteers will be able to book slots at buildings and events that have requested volunteer support 21 August at midday – the festival programme will be live for bookingsDon’t worry if you’ve not managed to bag a ticket though, there are plenty of drop-in venues, walks and cycling tours you can just turn up to. How about a wander through London’s only commercial-scale vineyard, experiencing life on a narrowboat or admiring the imagination of Heath Robinson at a purpose-built museum?
