Tips for The London Design Festival

We thought we'd provide some tips on how to make the most of London' annual design moment!

Some of the annual shows have been running longer than the Festival. In particular 100% Design London, Desingersblock, Decorex. They continue to innovate and evolve, and should not be missed! Newer shows are also starting to develop their own heritage within the Festival such as New Designers Selection, the Eureka Collection, Super Design Market and of course Deptford Design should also not be missed - they keep getting better & better!  Read More
