Among London’s most extraordinary and under-used landmarks, the House Mill and Miller’s House have world-class potential as a thriving arts, heritage and hospitality hub. Built in 1776, the House Mill is the world’s largest tidal mill and a Grade I listed landmark. Yet despite its extraordinary history, scale and setting, it remains largely closed, underused and out of public reach.

In 2026, the House Mill turns 250 — a once-in-a-generation moment to bring it back to life.

Years of limited access and fragile, volunteer-only operation have left one of London’s great heritage assets drifting — disconnected from the communities it exists to serve.

Find out what’s gone wrong — and why it matters.
