I had the pleasure of visiting London’s Ismaili Centre today, a truly unique space that blends spiritual reflection with cultural openness and stands as a symbol of pluralism in the heart of the city.

Should you be planning your final itinerary for #OpenHouseLondon Brixton windmill is open again at the weekend. The short wait I had before my tour began was happily filled enjoying tea in the cafe with v delicious plum cake made with flour milled there.

My 1st #OpenHouseLondon visit yesterday was to “a House of Moments”, a beautifully crafted transformation of a Victorian terraced house & its garden by architects Magri Williams, with a repeating theme of curves & various materials in tones of off-white

Disappointing start to #OpenHouseLondon at Southwark Integrated Waste Management Facility's "Wonder Day": joined a safety induction queue with no information, eventually found out the absolute best-case scenario would be a 2hr wait to start a tour, so gave up 🤦🏻 "Wonder" why we bothered

I may have to accept I will never visit any of the popular places at Open House London as yet again the booking website just kept crashing and by the time I got to a functioning page everything was already booked. So frustrating when it's one of my favourite events of the year

I visited the Fitzrovia Chapel during #OpenHouseLondon in 2021 (during a brief Covid gap!), & it was really stunning. Also, the way it sits in, but not centrally in, a calm, green, pedestrian, public square, surrounded by high-density housing & offices, works really well

Another one of my favourite photos of the Ex City Hall in London. Designed by Foster and Partners. This photo gives sense of scale of the spiral staircase. Taken with my 8mm fisheye.

Ticked a couple of Livery companies off my list this morning as part of #openhouselondon. Carpenters and Bakers Hall are both post war builds after the previous halls were destroyed in the Blitz.

And finally the Rudolf Steiner House, built by Montagu Wheeler in the 20s/30s in tribute to Steiner’s architecture. Apparently it’s London’s only Expressionist building. The staircase is like a calm Gaudi.

Then to the Fitzrovia Chapel, hidden away behind those new flats on Mortimer Street that I’ve walked past a gazillion times en route from Euston to the BBC.

Once the chapel for the Middlesex Hospital.
