New London Architecture and London Festival of Architecture 2008
NLA started in 2005 and is a vital addition to the public debate about the future of London, offering a centre and gallery where everyone - public, professional and politicians - can find out about what is happening in their city. The centrepiece of its gallery is a 1:1500 scale model of central London and the exhibition programme is enhanced by a regular series of talks and events.
Derwent London has supported NLA since 2006 and believes it offers an essential, useful and interesting resource for Londoners and those involved in its development. www.newlondonarchitecture.org
London Festival of Architecture
The 2008 London Festival of Architecture proved an enormous success. The biggest event of its kind in the world, it focused on five hubs across London with exhibitions, cycle tours, walks, talks, performances, installations and interventions from 20th June - 20th July.
Derwent London sponsored the Kings Cross/Bloomsbury/Fitzrovia and Covent Garden hub, an area that it is passionate about and the future of which it is helping to shape. www.lfa2008.org
