This is one of my favourite London events and a fantastic chance to see inside buildings that aren't usually open to the public.

What's anyone planning to see?


I can't see another thread on this already so apologies if I'm duplicating.

yep, so we tried to go and see some of the "big" ones (Gerkin, Cheesegrater, Lloyds building) but were way to late, queues were over 1.5 long. But it was still a nice wander, went to Mary-le-bow, where the vicar gave an interesting short talk, then walked along the Thames path - not something we had done for a long time - it seems to have improved.

Next year: have subscribed to the newsletter and hope to be better organised (and get there earlier:)


What did others go & see?

Yes, I was also overwhelmed by all the options and thought it would be easier to access the smaller venue options. I did the Crystal Palace Subway, which was very interesting and informative. I am surprised that it continues to be boarded up; I could imagine the space being used to hold events and cultural activities. However, the tour was a bit underwhelming for me because I had expected to have access to a real subway system, a bit like spelunking or something, which the tour was not. However, the building exhibits beautiful examples of brick and stone craftsmanship and I am glad that I was afforded a chance to see it.

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
