This weekend the church is taking part in Open House London, a London-wide (as its name suggests) initiative to draw people to the city’s beautiful buildings.  Of course our church is open every day (and we hope soon, all day once again)  but our listing on their website makes that know to a wider audience.  Last year we were gratified at the number of people who came in just because they were so glad to find ANYTHING open.  Who knows how many we’ll get this year.  There are several other properties open in the area:  The Friends Meeting House, Swiss Cottage Library, Keats House, Isokon, 2 Willow Road and 8a Belsize Park Garages (please someone go and see what that is!).  What you don’t see every time you come to church is the selection from our Archives – the illuminated manuscript we featured on Church Chat a couple of weeks ago, and drawings and plans of proposed extensions, some of which I’m very glad weren’t accepted.  We also have a transcription of the George Steevens memorial in the Lady Chapel – be honest, how many of you can read it from the ground?

And of course, being HPC, there’ll be tea and coffee, so even if you’ve seen it all before, come and have a coffee with your friends
