Architect Richard Rogers’s Wimbledon home, known as 22 Parkside and cited as an inspiration for projects including the Centre Pompidou and Lloyd’s of London, is being given to the National Trust, according to multiple reports.
The property is expected to open to the public as part of London’s Open House festival this weekend. The sources describe the home as a landmark in Rogers’s career and a notable example of his architectural approach, but they focus primarily on the transfer and the planned public access rather than on broader details such as ownership terms or long-term management plans.
While the outlets share the same core information about the gift to the National Trust and the upcoming opening dates, they use slightly different wording. One report emphasizes the home’s influence on well-known buildings, while others stress its status as a “landmark” and highlight the Open House element, with no material disagreement in the reported facts.
