Open House London, the capital’s greatest architectural showcase, will take place on 18th & 19th September 2010.
The initiative is a simple but powerful concept: hundreds of great buildings of all types and periods open up their doors to all, completely for FREE.
It is a truly city-wide celebration of the buildings, places and neighbourhoods where we live, work and play, and is your opportunity to get out and get under the skin of London’s amazing architecture.
The Buildings near Pimlico which need to be booked to view are:
You may notice how I love that word “Free” and I am sure my Pimlico Tenants will love these free theatre tickets. The catch is that you have to be under 26, so I myself will have to take advantage of the £10 Mondays which is still a great bargain at less than half price for the best seats.
If you do qualify for the free tickets be quick because there are a limited number of tickets available. The tickets are for Pimlico’s famous experimental theatre, The Royal Court on Sloane Square, and the production is Tribes by Nina Raine (14 Oct – 13 Nov) in the Jerwood Theatre Downstairs:
Free tickets are available for Friday and Saturday evenings, all matinees and selected previews (Tues-Sat).
North Pimlico is often called Belgravia, and during June the area has a number of free events and special offers:
Every Saturday there are free Walking Tours to see the area where for almost 200 hundred years, the aristocracy, the rich, the famous and the infamous have lived, played, shopped, drunk and visited. Experienced City of Westminster Guides will conduct 90 minute walks through history, fame and scandal, discovering the history and influence of the Grosvenor family, master builder Thomas Cubitt plus The Krays, James Bond, Lady Thatcher and The Great Train Robbery! There are 4 tours available each Saturday in June. Register Online to Guarantee Your Place or call Nadia 07805 970 164 (9am – 5pm, Monday to Friday).
