On Saturday, September 13, the twelfth annual London Design Festival opened to the public. The nine-day celebration of contemporary design promotes London’s creativity, drawing in the city's greatest thinkers, practitioners, retailers, and educators. The Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A) serves as the central hub location for the event, which spans the entire city, including various cultural institutions, galleries, luxury boutiques, art schools, public spaces, and more.

Conceived by designers Sir John Sorrell and Ben Evans in 2003, the London Design Festival is comprised of over 300 events and exhibitions staged by hundreds of partner organizations across the design spectrum and from around the world.
