Open house weekend 2013 suggestions

This year its on weekend of 21-22 September.

Anyone got any personal recommendations of buildings they've been that have suprised them and been really good?

My personal recommendations would be a personal home - 49 Camberwell Grove. It's very narrow, with a vacume lift of some sort, very clever sky lights, folding beds, lots of space saving ideas and garden divided into rooms. Beautiful throughout and a very nice, chatty owner - http://events.londonopenhouse.org/building/17837

Also another place in peckham was really cool, a modern, minimalist, designed from scratch house with beautiful furniture - 16a Kings Grove - http://events.londonopenhouse.org/building/18432

I don't just like modern stuff though, the Kirkaldy testing building on Souhtwark St was really interesting with all it's old victorian machines - http://events.londonopenhouse.org/building/3740

So any good experiences and suggestions from you lot?

Ed's Shed in Hackney is worth a visit. The house is a lot larger than you expect from the street.

Other than that my memory is fairly vague of the other buildings I visited last year, all good fun though.

Ok, I'll check that out Eds shed - http://events.londonopenhouse.org/building/17499

anyomore anyone?

anyone else got any suggestions please?

Hey beenbrun! Elaine here from that LBK Mersea Island ride!

I've been to a few private residences in previous years around North London (Hampstead / Angel area). Will need to have a dig to remember the names/locations.

Last year I thought a change and see larger commercial buildings.

Angel Building

• large terrace on roof.
  
• sculpture in central atrium

Lloyd's of London

• the escalators
  
• the big open trading floor

Think I'm back to residential this year...
