Summer has ended but the fun hasn’t stopped. There are still some exciting autumn activities to enjoy this month.  

Southall Manor House and Pitzhanger Manor and Gallery open their doors to visitors this September as part of Open House Festival.  

Open House Festival celebrates London’s buildings, neighbourhoods and special sites by holding open days and events for the public to enjoy the city’s rich heritage. 

Visitors to Southall Manor House will this year be treated to a unique experience, where the tour will be guided by scent. 

Perfumeries, 4160 Tuesdays and Kushbu, will use their fragrances to animate rooms in the Grade II listed Tudor building, providing visitors with an immersive sensory exploration of time and space.  

Bookings are still available for Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 September. Doors open from 1pm to 5pm and entry is free. 

For more information and to book a place, visit the Open House Festival website.
