Open House London

One of the biggest events this weekend is Open House London – an opportunity to get inside many buildings normally closed to the public. The online guide is £3 at www.openhouse.org.uk, but if you would like to take a look at it, come by our flat. Most buildings, walks, and tours (there are 660!) are free.

There’s a special exhibit at the Soane Museum – if you want to read about it, feel free to borrow our Time Out. There’s also a review of the First Emperor exhibit at the British Museum (for which over 101,000 tickets have already been sold!). It’s a little pricey (£12), but gets a good review. It’s also your only chance to get inside the truly wonderful reading room in the center of the indoor courtyard. It’s open the entire time we’re here.

Potluck will be at 6 on Monday in our flat. All are welcome – if you don’t cook, bring a drink or some bread or something that just needs to be heated up – Tesco and Sainsbury have lots of good and fairly inexpensive stuff! Tesco has pizzas on 2 for 1 this week, and that good sparkling peach water 3 for 1.14, I think. Tesco also has a good markdown section just before the produce. There are some bargains there.

Hope you have a great weekend!
