Nine days of design in London

The London Design Festival (LDF) is a multi-day international design festival held annually in London. For nine days, designers, architects, brands, and cultural institutions present their work through exhibitions, temporary installations, talks, and design fairs. The festival collaborates with renowned partners such as the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Design Museum, and attracts visitors and professionals from around the world.

Design districts across London

The festival is spread across ten design districts in the city, from Shoreditch Design Triangle and Brompton Design District to Mayfair and Bankside. Each district has its own unique character and offerings. In addition to the partner network, there are regular features such as the London Design Medals, the Global Design Forum, and design fairs like Design London Shoreditch and Material Matters. This way, the festival offers both depth and breadth for professionals in the cultural sector, visual arts, and applied arts.

International platform for design professionals

LDF positions London as a global design capital, connecting established names with emerging talent. The festival is accessible to a wide audience—from local residents to international designers and collectors.
