Bizarre experience at London Open Day

Yesterday was the London Open Day where you can go and visit many London landmarks that are usually closed to the public.  We went to this mausoleum that was built by some crazy old rich guy

What I didn't expect was that they would open the doors and let people mingle with the hundred and fifty year old coffins!



Talk about spooky!

You're always up to the coolest things! I'm always a day to late finding out about things to do.

Thanks for the compliment.  We are perpetual tourists.

They do Open Day London once or twice a year and there’s hundreds of things open that wouldn’t normally be.  Cross rail tunnels and the Battersea power station are next on my list .

Looks brilliant!

Ooh, when are the Crossrail tunnels open next? 

Here’s the web site for this year

Note that there’s tons of steam pumping stations as well .   

We used to go in for the open days each year.  Really great!  Always in September.

We apply each year for 10 Downing Street but only 100 people get in.  We haven't been lucky enough yet!

I've been back and met one of the guys out front guarding 10 Downing street. He was a really nice guy. My friend is friends with a London police officer and he has connections.

It's so quiet back there. I wanted to hang out for awhile.

London's Open Day(s) sound awesome.  Ours are a whole bunch of churches.  Boring!!!!

They do the same in Glasgow... I keep meaning to go, but never quite get around to it. 

Really? Hmmm, will have to watch for that.

It's Open Doors month in Scotland the noo. You missed Glasgow's big weekend last weekend.

I've literally never heard of this before and it sounds awesome!! I'm going to have to put this on my list of things to experience! The idea of Open Day is pretty awesome!

Sometimes they run tours through the village under Glasgow Central Station http://www.grahamston.com/

In Edinburgh there are tours through Mary Kelly's Close https://www.realmarykingsclose.com/plan-your-visit/opening-times-prices/
