Discover top four activities in London this September;
London Design Festival
‘Eight days of design-based exhibitions and events in locations around London, with its hub at the V&A.’
The London Design Festival celebrates the world's best designers. As they explore the boundaries of what design even is through events, exhibitions and installations.
As 2023 marks 300 years since the death of Sir Christopher Wren, the iconic architect famed for designing the historic St Paul's Cathedral, the festival this year features two Landmark Projects celebrating his 'architectural and scientific heritage.'‘
The base of the festival remains at the V&A, which will be transformed by a variety of contemporary designers as well as with ‘Design Districts’ all over London, including new ones for 2023 in Dalston, Fitzrovia, Chelsea and Battersea…
When: 16th - 24th September 2023
Frieze Sculpture
Frieze Sculpture returns for another year transforming Regent's Park, one of London's prettiest green spaces, into a massive outdoor gallery. Fatos Ustek will take the lead on curation for the first time, and visitors can appreciate the new works by leading international artists, including the likes of Ayse Erkmen and Ghada Amer. The exhibition will be complemented by a programme of performances and talks to enhance the experience, and it’s all free!
‘Slap on the sun cream (or a raincoat) and go soak up some sculpture.’

HowTheLightGetsIn, Festival
You don't see many festivals describing themselves as a blend of 'philosophy and music' but that's exactly what you get at ‘HowTheLightGetsIn’. Over 100 events are planned across the weekend of ideas, which is returning to Kenwood House in Hampstead Heath. Dine with some of the world's leading thinkers, and put your burning questions to them over a coffee or a glass of fizz. There's also a huge programme of debates, including discussions of 'the Danger of Safety', and 'Peace for Our Time'. And once you're ready to take your thinking cap off, there are the comedy and music sets to enjoy too!
When: 23rd - 24th September 2023
