London Festival of Architecture 2025

Details

London Festival of Architecture is excited to reveal the full programme for LFA2025, taking place across London from 1 - 30 June 2025. Following the Festival’s landmark 20th anniversary last year, LFA2025 builds on that momentum with a bold and expansive line-up of over 450 events, including 55 exhibitions, over 80 workshops, and 20 installations - all brought together under this year’s theme, Voices. Throughout the month of June, audiences are invited to explore the city through new perspectives: to uncover hidden corners, to see familiar spaces differently, and to engage with the many voices shaping London’s built environment today.

With a theme rooted in platforming underrepresented voices and championing diverse perspectives, the Festival offers a rich and varied programme that celebrates architecture as a space for dialogue, action and transformation.

Locations: Opening New Doors
At the heart of LFA2025 are this year’s Destinations - Barnet, Brentford Golden Mile, City of London, and Fitzrovia - each offering a distinctive local programme that explores the future of our urban spaces. Meanwhile, six specially chosen Neighbourhoods - Art Park (Harrow), Clapham Junction, Fleet Street Quarter, London Cancer Hub (Sutton), and Wood Green and Alexandra Palace - will showcase events rooted in community, creativity and place.

People at the Centre: Workshops, Events and More
This year’s programme reflects a significant grassroots energy, thanks in part to an expanded network of community organisers and first-time participants. The Festival has seen a record number of workshops - now the most popular event type - with over 80 individual sessions across the capital.

Public Realm Interventions That Transform the City
Public installations have long played a vital role in the Festival - trailing new ideas, testing temporary designs, and leaving lasting legacies across the city. This year is no exception.

Voices at the Forefront: A Curated Programme
The 2025 programme has been carefully shaped through a collaborative process, guided by a distinguished Curation Panel - Dhruv Gulabchande, Amy Frearson, Chetna Kapacee, Shahed Saleem, Satu Streatfield and Yẹmí Aládérun - alongside input from hundreds of organisers and partners across the city. Their shared vision - celebrating emerging, global, marginalised and historical voices - comes to life through the Curator Picks and across the programme.
