pocket50
We are celebrating the 50th edition of our Pocket Printed tours with a new collected set.
Launched in 2021, our monthly self-guided tours focus on London’s most compelling neighbourhoods.
Our 50th edition explores the speculative regeneration of Nine Elms and is authored by series editor, a local resident and someone who covered Nine Elms’ formative moments for the architectural press, our very own Merlin Fulcher.

Open City Membership
Open City’s work is made possible thanks to the generous support of our Open City Friends, who share in our belief that engagement with and conversations about the future of London and the urban landscape should not be open just to a privileged few, but to everyone.
