The London Festival of Architecture celebrates London as the global hub for architecture. The festival returns to the capital with a lively and diverse programme of public events across London exploring the theme of ‘boundaries’. Spread across the city in Festival Hubs – London Bridge, Royal Docks, City of London and Heart of London – they each offer the opportunity to appreciate the stunning architectural quality of the area and attend a wealth of events all within a concentrated neighbourhood.
The Festival began in 2004, and has since grown to become the world’s largest annual architecture festival. The festival attracts a vast public audience – well over 600,000 people in 2018 – and a global media audience of millions. The vast majority of events are free, and are staged by a core festival programming team working alongside architecture and design practices and practitioners, leading cultural and academic institutions, artists and many others.
