 in various locations


Either my memory has problems or they have it completely up a level, I don't remember so many events around the London Festival of Architecture last year. Perhaps the credit crunch?

There are lots more events this year. This is largely because we wanted to spread the Festival outside the central areas, so we have events in outer areas including Stratford, Croydon, Hammersmith, Chiswick and Hampstead. The economic situation has had an effect too. Instead of organising lots of central events, we have encouraged more people to do their own. Thanks for your selection.

thank you, Peter for the update. Let's hope people are not too obsessed with the World Cup in this 3 weeks :)
