Architecture Update: Walk right in
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.MORE than 200 London buildings grand and modest, but all of architectural interest, will open their doors on 10 and 11 September as part of England's first European Heritage Open Days.
Not to be missed are: the Imagination building on Store Street, WC1, one of the best hi-tech spaces in London; Burton House, a contemporary private house and studio by the architect Richard Burton; the Granary on the former King's Cross Railway Lands, built by Lewis Cubitt in the 1850s, and the Granada Bingo Hall, Woolwich, which still retains Komisarjevsky's 1937 dramatic Gothic cinema interior.
Elsewhere in the country the Civic Trust is co-ordinating the opening of around 1,000 buildings. For details of buildings open in your area, contact your local library or tourist information centre. Admission to all buildings is free.
