Did you know London has an annual Open House Festival? This "two week celebration of London's homes, architecture and neighbourhoods" begins today. Get inspiration for your dream home by walking through some of London's most exceptional properties, exploring houses around the capital and touring neighbourhoods that are full of character and stories.
Thousands of buyers and tenants apply to Foxtons every week, so our local experts conduct many, many property viewings all over London. Trust us, we understand the thrill of your first step into a beautiful home. That's why we're excited for London's 30th Open House Festival, which starts today.
Most Londoners have a favourite property they'd love to look inside, like the Grand Designs Water Tower Conversion, which you can visit in this festival. This is a fantastic opportunity to explore some of the most recognisable, historic and storied homes, from Erno Goldfinger's iconic brutalist Trellick Tower to the revolutionary art and LGBTQ+ history of Pink Palace, a housing estate in Deptford.
There's also a wealth of walking tours if you'd like to discover a new neighbourhood, whether you're considering a move or you just love London's stories. You can learn the fascinating history of Black Tudors, or dive into local Witches & Witchcraft lore to help you gear up for spooky season, or explore the transformation of Walthamstow from forest to London suburb - prepare for this tour with our article on Walthamstow's growing popularity.
