Open House London always makes me like London more. I started Open House Weekend at the top of the Cheesegrater, admiring the great views, and ended it in a toilet at the ArtsLav, an arts venue in former public toilets.

These are the places I visited this year:

Cheesegrater (The Leadenhall Building)
Blackfriars Arts Treasure Hunt (well, did a bit of it)
100 Victoria Embankment - Unilever House
240 Blackfriars
Billingsgate Roman House and Baths
CityPoint (Simmons & Simmons' offices and art collection)

Canary Wharf Crossrail Station construction site
Marx Memorial Library
Finsbury Town Hall
Angel Building
The Small House
ArtsLav

How long were you queuing for the Cheesegrater? I was doing other things but was amazed how long the queue was when I went past on Sunday lunchtime.

Blimey guv! I felt virtuous for managing one! Mind you we did spend over half a day there :)

I joined the queue on Saturday at about 9.15. Think I was queuing for somewhere between an hour and an hour and a half. Doors were supposed to open at 10, but I think they opened quarter of an hour earlier.

Great views from up there!
