The new year offers another enticing schedule of events for architects and designers of all persuasions.
London remains the global capital for architecture and design culture. From month-long citywide festivals to intimate gallery shows, 2026 is packed with world-class events for architects, interior designers, and anyone passionate about the built environment. Here are seven you should have in your calendar.
Clerkenwell Design Week
The UK’s leading independent design festival, set in the district with more creative businesses per square mile than anywhere else on earth. Over 600 showroom events, curated exhibitions, and the expanded CDW Awards across three packed days.
London Festival of Architecture
Europe’s biggest annual architecture festival returns with the 2026 theme of “Belonging.” A full month of installations, walking tours, talks and debates exploring how architecture fosters connection and community across the capital.
