19 – 27 September 2015. The London Design Festival is a nine day Festival of contemporary design that celebrates London as the creative capital of the world.
As the central hub location for the London Design Festival for the seventh year, the V&A will again house a broad range of commissioned activity which will be spread throughout the Museum and include installations, events, talks and workshops.
The V&A is the first point of call for Festival visitors: the place to meet, pick up information, visit inspiring installations and events, and to enjoy the Festival atmosphere.
