FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH
The London Design Festival, which starts on September 17, is just around the corner. For one week, leading designers from around the world will turn their eyes to the British capital. For many it will be the first London Festival in person since covid, but that’s not the only reason to expect a bumper year. It is also the LDF’s 20th anniversary.
Over two decades, the event has steadily grown, and by 2019, the festival had reached 1.1m visits by 600,000 visitors, from 75 different countries. Continuing this expansive trend, this year’s Festival will feature events all over the city, many of them free to attend. “This 20th anniversary edition is more important than ever, inviting audiences locally and internationally to experience the festival’s dynamic programme at the many districts that span the capital,” said Justine Simons, London’s Deputy Mayor for Culture and the Creative Industries.
Here are a few of the things we are looking forward to.
