Open House London: Benjamin Franklin House

As part of the hugely popular, capital-wide annual festival of architecture, Open House London, the Grade I listed Benjamin Franklin House will be opening its doors for free. The 1730s building is the last remaining former residence of the Founding Father and retains many of its original features, including the floors, stairs and ceilings. Half-hourly guided tours will take place throughout the day on a first-come-first-served basis.
