EC1 Design District

EC1 Design District returns to London Design Festival in 2026 for its second edition, spotlighting one of London’s most dynamic hubs for architecture and design.

Centred around the wider Farringdon and Barbican areas, EC1 is home to an impressive concentration of architecture practices, design studios, and specification-led showrooms. For its second year, the district will celebrate the area's deep-rooted connection to the trade and specifier markets, offering a programme tailored to industry professionals and design enthusiasts alike. With its proximity to leading brands, emerging studios, and key institutions, EC1 presents a unique blend of cutting-edge design and material innovation. The district's full programme for LDF26 will be announced soon.
