Open House Festival

In partnership
with Airbnb

London is a city
best shared

This year, we’re excited to partner with Airbnb once again, to give visitors the chance to connect with Londoners and discover the capital from a fresh perspective.

No one knows a place better than the people who live there. That’s why we believe the most meaningful experiences come from spending time with locals who truly know and love their city.

From walking tours led by a long-time resident to behind-the-scenes access at iconic landmarks, Airbnb Experiences offer a more personal way to connect with a city – whether you’re a for curious traveller, solo adventurer or a locals looking to discover something new.

Just like Open House Festival and Open City’s year-round Tours, Airbnb Experiences invite people to step off the beaten path and uncover the hidden stories, spaces and perspectives that don’t always make it into the guidebooks.

Explore London through the locals who know it best: check out our Airbnb Experience Picks below.
