Unlock your House Mill
The House Mill has graced the Lea Valley for 250 years, but its doors have been closed too long. Londoners deserve a House Mill that is open, vibrant and alive all year round.
Your action today can help make that happen. Whether you add your name, share your story, or join the movement, you are helping to unlock a landmark held in trust for you and your community — and to ensure its next 250 years truly serve the public.
What you can do now
🖋️ Sign the petition: Add your name to our open letter to the Charity Commission, Historic England and your local representatives, urging action to secure professional leadership and management for year-round public access and a cultural programme worthy of this landmark.
