About The London Design Festival
London Design festival is a unique fair that is planned to present the British Capital as an inspirational capital city in the world. It is one of the most vivacious events, which showcases more than 300 events and exhibitions that are designed and arranged by the best architectures, designers and educationists from around the world. Primary focus remains to enhance the beauty of existing buildings and locations. For this, different designers are assigned different themes, including Size & Matter and Trafalgar Square Project, and are then asked to contribute something unique while using new compositions and materials. Popular names from different industries and businesses then analyse designs and collectively announce one winner, which usually contributes to outstanding achievement in contemporary design.

History:
In 2003, two intelligent minds, Sir John Sorrell and Ben Evans, came up with an idea to celebrate an activity that would allow designers from various sectors of life to come up with a creative idea, which will promote London as a design hub city of the world. Many organisations and local government showed a keen interest and managed to hold the first exhibition at Bloomberg on 25 March 2003. -
