The 23rd annual Doors Open London (DOL) weekend will take place in September 21 & 22, 2024. This year’s theme is Live. Work. Play: In the Forest City. Visitors will have the opportunity to see how the participation sites, organisations, and businesses have changed and impacted the evolution of our city and by extension, Londoners. Places of worship will highlight how the community have embraced their faith throughout the years. Businesses and places of work will showcase how work culture, demographics, and the impact of the economy have shaped the organizations and helped their respective sectors advance over the years. Cultural organizations will illuminate how Londoners have, over the years, embraced the arts not only as a means of entertainment, but also as a means of pursuing interests and passions.
