I want to see inside your flat. Please!

One of the big differences I find between living in Canada and living in London is my obsession with wanting to see inside peoples' living spaces. In Canada, there isn't a tremendous amount of variation between the sort of places that people live - it's either a house in the burbs (50s, 70s, or 80s/90s), an apartment block (red brick from the early 1900s, or 1950s/80s, most likely) a small city house (mainly 20s/30s), or a generic condo kind of thing built recently. Which seems to be where most Canadians live these days.

Here in London it's tantalizing to eyeball at all of the interesting, historic buildings and wonder "what does that building look like inside? Is that a flat?"

Here are the places that I really want to see inside. If you live in anything like these, please invite me round for tea (I'm a friendly guest and I'll reciprocate)

1. Temple (see photo)- I know most of this 'compound' is made up of law offices BUT I also know that the top floors are private housing for the lawyers. Right now to get home from the office I have to walk through middle and inner Temple to the tube station, and I seem to spend most of this walk craning my neck to see if there is any way of nosily viewing the living spaces inside...

2. The Barbican - Though I am not massively fond of most 20th century housing projects, I have a secret love for the Barbican centre. I'd really be interested to see inside one of the flats, as they are so well preserved. And high up. Shakespeare tower, please!

3. Any of the Regency houses near Regent's Park - they are so beautiful. I want to see how the light streams through the windows. Ideally something designed by John Nash.

4. A 1930s block in Fitzrovia/Marylebone - maybe with a porter. And a really nice entrance hall.

5. The bonkers artists' studios turned into flats in Barons Court. Apparently used by the Pre-Raphaelites.

I'm sure there are more that I (and you) can think of. Meanwhile, if you live in any of those places, I'll bring the biccies, K?
