Open House Festival starts today; what are you planning to see? We're particularly looking forward to the guided and self-guided tours of the soon-to-be Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration (previously The House of Illustration) with installations by Laura Copsey + Philip Crewe and Sharpay Chenyuè Yuán. The derelict industrial site, a 300-year-old former waterworks, is a stone's throw away from our River Street showroom and will be restored, opening as the Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration in 2024. Visit the Open House Festival website to book.
