We are delighted once again to be opening our listed offices as part of this year’s Open House Festival. The Victorian Society are based in Bedford Park in Chiswick. The building is Grade II, built in 1880 and designed by E. J. May. We are just a couple of minutes walk away from Turnham Green tube.
To visit the building, just drop-in between 11.00 am and 4.15 pm on Saturday 12th September. Bookings must be made from the 19th August, however, for the extra guided walking tour of Bedford Park. Read more about our Open Day, and book for the walking tour on the same page too from 19th August.
Combine your visit to the Victorian Society’s office at 1 Priory Gardens with a visit to the Chiswick Book Festival which is taking place over the same weekend.
