'Open House London'

If you fancy exploring some of London's best-known buildings, check out 'Open House London' this weekend. Hundreds of buildings - including the Bank of England, Centrepoint, Mansion House (pictured below), Hoxton Hall, Kensington Palace, Almeida Theatre, Young Vic, Guildhall School of Music & Drama, Brunel Museum and Lloyd's of London - are opening their doors to the public on Saturday and Sunday.

You can get more details from http://www.openhouselondon.org.uk/ - and if you want to see one of the world's most iconic documents, the City of London's copy of the 1293 Magna Carta (pictured) will be on rare public display at the Guildhall Art Gallery and Roman Amphitheatre, EC2. It's the first time in decades that the document from Edward I's reign has been put on display, so it's a very rare opportunity to come face-to-face with a slice of history.
