	14th-22nd: Open House London Open House was started in 1992 as a small, not-for-profit organisation to promote public awareness and appreciation of the capital's building design and architecture. The intention was to open up London's splendid buildings to the general public who don't otherwise have access. We saw this as a way of helping the wider community to become more knowledgeable, engage in dialogue and make informed judgements on architecture openhouselondon.org.uk openhouselondon

	22nd Autumn Equinox The Autumn Equinox indicates the end of summer For the northern hemisphere, it means the start of longer nights and colder days. The equinox happens twice a year: on or around March 23 and on or around September 23. From today the temperature will begin to drop, and leaves will start turning red and nights will start to draw in. On the autumnal equinox, the Earth hits the turning point in its orbit where neither the North or the South poles are tilted towards the sun. It means the amount of daylight and night time is the same at all points on the Earth's surface. The word equinox is Latin for "equal night”
	22nd Oct Seed Gathering Season Established in 1998, The Tree Council has been organising Seed Gathering Season, the autumn campaign to inspire everyone to gather seeds, fruits and nuts and grow the trees of the future. The festival starts each year on the autumn equinox (considered to be the first day of autumn) and continues for one month.
In Season
	Food in Season Native Oyster Oysters are members of the family Ostreidae and the common European oyster is named Ostrea edulis. Oysters are bivalve molluscs found near the bottom of the sea in coastal areas. The upper shell (valve) is flattish and is attached by an elastic ligament hinge to the lower, bowl-shaped shell. Oysters are high in protein and low in fat. They are rich in zinc and contain many other minerals such as calcium, iron, copper, iodine, magnesium. By Victorian times, pickled oysters were a common food of the poor in London. The era of cheap oysters came to an end quite abruptly after oyster beds became exhausted due to overfishing and pollution.
