THere are hundreds of buildings open this weekend... what can people recommend as the "Must Sees"... Annoyingly they don't list the buildings open, you have to search with the name etc.

I'm def going to the B of E and possibly Lambeth Palace :-)

Thanks,
S

I doubt most men care what the insides of another person's house looks like.

I really enjoyed St Pancras Chambers but it's a hotel now (or will be soon) so may be either a closed building site or a hotel you can just go into anyway.

you can search areas here and get a list of what's open there, and book if necessary

Listen to BBC Radio London 94.9FM. They were going on about this last year and people were phoning up with recommendations.

The Bank of England tour is interesting, but you may have a long queue!

I went to the Hoover building a few years ago. Don´t know if it is still on the list, but it is worth a visit for the art deco features. The guide was what made it and only 3 people went at 1100 when I was there.
