Open House London listings data

All of it. Automatically scraped every 3 hours with updates committed to git, autogenerated per-day CSV's, and autogenerated per-day maps.

Things you can use

There are historical versions of these for previous open house events in the corresponding year directories.

Things to note:

  • All the venue images are stored in a different repository. Find them here: https://github.com/Jonty/open-house-london-images
  • This attempts to detect if events are ticketed, both on an event (ticketed) and a listing (ticketed_events) basis
  • Some venues have no events and are open all week, see the all_week field
  • Some events run all day, and have 00:00-23:59 as times for convenience, but also an all_day field
  • fully_booked will be null on events where bookings are handled by an external website such as eventbrite
  • Data not included in the listing will either be [], or null
  • JSON filenames are the OH ID's of venues that persist between events

The warehouse is now home to architects Cullinan Studio, who completed an extensive retrofit of the building into their new offices in 2012. This beautiful and efficient workplace proves that retrofit can be as inspiring as new-build. Cullinan Studio is using their first-hand experience as client, designer and end-user of the building to observe how users interact with the space after handover, and putting that knowledge to good use in future projects."

The north wall has insulation of up to 380mm thick over the existing rendered façade providing a u-value of 0.08W/sqm/K. PV panels on the south slopes of the roof generate electricity. A Building Management System (BMS) enables us to monitor energy performance and space temperatures."

Todo

  • New venues this year (perhaps add a "last open house this was available" field)
  • Ability to mark venues as "want to see" and "seen" and filter by this - perhaps with a backing store in google sheets per-user, using JS?
  • List view of all venues (with filters)
  • Show images
  • Auto-updated Google Sheet w/tabs
  • Autogenerated datasette DB
  • Delete venues that are no longer listed so git history is accurate
  • Dig up all the previous years data and import as much as possible in the same format
