And nowhere has London changed more than around the Olympic Park, where Open House will be offering guided tours showcasing regeneration efforts.

Also new this year will be rides on the Emirates Airline cable car, which opened last month, while old favourite such as the Gherkin and Tower 42 will also be open to visit.

Open House says that this year it is aiming to demonstrate the way the built environment is evolving and ‘how design can make London a more liveable, vibrant and enjoyable city’.
