The buildings of Beckenham Place Park are taking part in Open House London.

There will be open access to the Mansion, Artists Studios, and the newly restored homesteads buildings. There will also be exclusive access to parts of the buildings not usually open to the public, including the Mansion attic and the newly restored gardener’s cottage.

There will be talks about the Homestead restoration and the lake, and Georgian dancing in the stableyard courtyard (weather permitting). No need to book in advance – turn up on the day, although numbers are limited for some of the talks / areas, so it will be a first come, first served system and you may have to wait for a space.
