You can access it NOW on FMP, but you have to pay to view records.

You don't need to have a subscription to the site.

That will be the case for at least three years

Regional hubs to offer free online access to 1921 Census of England and Wales
Tuesday 30 November 2021

Today we can announce two regional hubs that will provide free online access to the 1921 Census of England and Wales from 6 January 2022.

The census will be available online via our commercial partner Findmypast and will be free to access in this way at The National Archives, in Kew.

In addition, visitors to the Manchester Central Library and the National Library of Wales will be able to access the 1921 Census of England and Wales via the Findmypast website for free following its publication next year.

Access at the Manchester Central Library, on St Peter’s Square, Manchester, will be supported by the Manchester and Lancashire Family History Society helpdesk and the Archives+ Team (www.archivesplus.org).

Just to repeat - you don't have to have a sub to FMP to look at the 1921 census.

Be aware that there are LOTS of mistranscriptions.
Lateral thinking required in many cases!

If you hover over either the "Record Transcript" or "Record Image" button to the right of a basic free result, it will tell you the names of some of the other people at that address, which may help pinpoint the person you want.

If you want to see full details (address, etc), you're best to pay to view the image, rather than the cheaper transcription, as the latter often have mistakes.

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.
