A spiral house, a bingo hall and one of the capital's most sought-after regeneration districts are among the borough's most inspiring properties selected for next week's Open House London.

Nineteen buildings in Wandsworth will be open to the public over the weekend, as more than 700 properties across London open their doors to architecture-fans.

The two-day festival is run by Open City, a not-for-profit architecture organisation which aims to promote public awareness and appreciation of the capital's design and architecture.

Here are some of our picks of Wandsworth properties taking part.

Designed by William Chambers in the palladian style for Lord Bessborough in c.1762, rooms can be seen today in the styles of previous owners of the landed gentry.

Free tours will be conducted by the university's heritage expert Gilly King, who will tell the story of the house from its earliest owners through its time as a Jesuit training house and soldiers' refuge during the Second World War and place of study for the celebrated poet Gerard Manley Hopkins.

It will open on Sunday from 11.30am to 4.30pm, with tours at 12pm and 2.30pm on a first come, first serve basis.
