There’s no shortage of incredible architecture in London. 

From the brutalist Barbican Centre to St Paul’s Cathedral and the Shard,we’ve got so many fantastic buildings,and there are some pretty impressive homes across the capital too.

Usually,we don’t get to peek behind the doors of people’s houses,but one of the ‘most extraordinary’ in the city is inviting the public in this April.

Known as The Cosmic House,the private Grade I listed house,turned museum,is only open during certain times of the year,and it gets booked up quickly.
