You don't always have to pre-book National Trust properties such as Ham House, as they will allow walk-up visitors in if pre-bookings haven't reached capacity.

I have no idea how they came up with £12.50 to see the Painted Hall, probably one of London's worst value tourist attractions now, IMO.

A useful list. I hope that Severndroog Castle will soon be opening as well - which you have written about so inspiringly in the past.

Hall Place in Bexley is at least partially open.

Thanks for the inspiration. I too think The Painted Hall, splendid though it is, is significantly overpriced. Not sure I paid £12.50 to stand directly below the ceiling during the recent restoration works.

I genuinely didn't know Croydon Airport had open days, so thanks for highlighting that! Seems others were interested too!

Kingston is not a complete cultural desert. I'm just back from the parish church, where English kings were crowned before Westminster Abbey was built, and has a very good coffee shop.

It's not highlighted well on their website, but it is worth noting that Osterley House (in Hounslow) is open Wednesdays to Sundays with no pre-booking. See here and here.
