And, as we move into the end of October, don't miss the opportunity to give yourself a fright with a Halloween tour of historic London.

‘Sugarburgh’ by 2015’s Eye Line second prize winner Farah Farina Fadzil.

Celebrating all things drawn in architecture, for the fourth year running, is RIBAJ's Eye Line competition. The competition entries were welcomed from all parties: whether the project is 'real', and regardless of the applicants' experience, the Eye Line judges looked for 'the best skills in architectural depiction, whatever the style. Hand-drawn, computer-aided, or whatever combination of techniques come together to make the image. Judges, Hugh Pearman, Will Alsop, Eric Parry, Joseph Robson, and Jes Fernie, determined the pieces on their ability to pull them into an imagined world.

Highgate Modern Homes Exhibition | Open now until 30 October

Highgate, celebrated for its unique antiquity and 'high society', is know for its protected, traditional buildings. This exhibition instead focuses on the modern houses and flats which now inhabit pockets of Highgate. Exactly because of the love of this traditional context, and a familiar pressure on land, these modern dwellings have mostly been hidden away from the foreground. This exhibition is a chance to celebrate these considered designs.

Shiver m' Timbers - Halloween Tour | 29-31 October

Get in the Halloween spirit with this hauntingly engaging tour of Christopher Wren's buildings, tunnels and stories of past London lives. The tour is lead by a company who specialise in historical tours, which engage and entertain the audience with 'grisly' tales of local characters. A trip to the pub following the tour should ease your nerves.

Examining the relationship between health and the city, this exhibition urges us to think differently about designing wellbeing spaces. Well Built, which opens this week, will explore the extent to which our health is affected by the everyday design surrounding us; our homes, offices, and public spaces all contribute to our overall state.
