London's architectural showcase

An underground school, Lloyd's of London and The Foreign and Commonwealth Office are all opening their doors for Open House London 2008.

Seven hundred buildings - the large, the small and the quirky - are joining in this weekend's celebration of the best in architectural design.

They range from private homes to skyline icons, and modern wonders to Victorian splendour.

Take a guided tour with the people who know these buildings best.
