You are currently viewing an archive site of the LFA’s 2023 Festival. For our current website click here.

Events for LFA 2023 will be taking place all over the capital, and organisers from all corners of London are encouraged to participate. There will also be particular attention to selected areas, which form the LFA Destinations. Featuring some of London’s most architecturally significant and diverse areas, the 2023 Destinations will range across Greater London.

This year, for the first time, the outer London boroughs of Barnet and Bromley will join as 2023 Destinations, as will the South London neighbourhood of Brixton in Lambeth. LFA also welcomes back the City of London, South Westminster, and Clerkenwell and Holborn as LFA Destinations in central London, and the Royal Docks in the east.

Each LFA Destination offers the public the opportunity to appreciate the architectural quality and culture of the area, as well as attend a wealth of events taking place on curated routes within a concentrated neighbourhood. Event organisers and local communities will have a voice over the future of their area not only as part of a citywide Festival, but also on a hyper local scale.
