It's that time of year where London Festival of Architecture dominates the London culture and design scene. The celebrations and exhibitions will be kicking off at the end of the week, bringing with it a seemingly endless list of workshops, events, talks, and parties. Before that begins on Friday, however, we've found some of the best walks and talks to keep you entertained.
Check back regularly to keep up to date with London's latest happenings and our weekly recommendations.
New London Neighbourhood Tour - Holborn | 30 May
Walk around the rich and varied neighbourhood of Holborn with New London Architecture this week, as they show how the area is being re-defined by the anticipated arrival of Crossrail. Projects along the walking route include those by KPF, John Robertson Architects, and Buckley Gray Yeoman to name just a few.
NYLON - tackling homelessness in London and New York | 31 May
This international dialogue between a breakfasting New York and a lunching London will discuss issues and innovative solutions to homelessness in cities. City experts will be joined, through live video seminar, to learn from one another and share experiences and ideas.
London History Day: The London that might Have Been | 31 May
Unrealised and
future projects are here collected in an exhibition of what might have been and
what London may look like in the future. In this one off open evening event,
curators will be telling the stories behind selected unbuilt buildings, using
drawings from the RIBA's collections to really build a picture of the
unrealised works.
London Festival of Architecture | 1-30 June
Returning with the theme of 'identity' this year, there will be over 400 associated events across the city, from walking tours to installations and talks. There's something for everyone at this city-wide celebration of architecture. Check Bustler regularly to see our picks of the best events throughout June.
