THE White House, Brentham Garden Suburb and Ealing Abbey are just some of the architectural delights around the borough which open their doors to the public later this month.

Ten buildings ranging from the ancient St Mary’s Church in Perivale to Ealing’s Victorian town hall and cutting edge design in Zero Carbon Loft conversion, will open to the public on September 22 and 23.

It is part of Open House London, celebrating the capital’s most loved and inspiring architectural designs.

One of four tours around Ealing’s hidden gems is through the Brentham estate in and around Meadvale Road, Ealing. It was the country’s first co-partnership purpose built estate, and its collection of 620 bijou terrace homes became a conservation area in 1969.

Rosanna Henderson, of the Brentham Society, has lived on the charming estate since 1984.

Although properties tend to be small, Rosanna talks of the ‘strong community spirit’ of this quiet corner of Ealing near the River Brent with the Brentham Club at its heart.

Just a mile down the road is another must-see spectacle.

The grand White House in Park View Road, Ealing, was completed in May 2009 by Prince John Zylinski after he promised his grandmother to rebuild the Polish palace she grew up in.

This lavish family home, inspired by Louis XV Palace with opulent interiors and the first marble arch in 200 years, is often hired for photo shoots for high-end magazines, TV shows and music videos - the likes of Britney Spears, Rihanna and Lady GaGa have all visited.

And with its likeness to Buckingham Palace, it became a go-to location for snaps of Will and Kate look alikes during the Royal Wedding mania.

Property developer Mr Zylinski said ‘there’s nothing like it’ and added: “I built the house with the intention of sharing it with people, with the community.”

Other buildings on show include two eco-friendly buildings. Bluebell House in Waldemar Avenue, West Ealing, is an energy saving family home, while the Zero Carbon Loft, in Hanwell, is an environmentally conscious green machine.

Walking tours will also take in the scenic environs of Northala Fields, Ealing Common and a Ruskinian wander through Chiswick Park.

Admission is free but booking is essential.
