Hi rpadam,

2 years ago they decided to move the Open House Weekend one week later so that it didn't clash with the Lord Mayors Thames festival which was last weekend.

And for trainman and the rest , yes you can pick up the paper brochure in most London Libraries.

But to search on the web, the best way is to go to
http://www.londonopenhouse.org/public/london/find/

and then type in 'City of London' as an area for example and 'show 50' and that will bring up an active map with description of all the open houses in that area.
A few are ticket only where you need to apply in advance ( The Gerkin and PO tower for example), but the rest are non-ticket , but expect to queue for the big ones like Lloyds, Band of England, The Express Building and the bigger Livery company halls.

I've been doing it for a few years now and have got round most of the Livery company halls and these are well worth a visit.
