London Festival of Architecture 2008 will be one of the world's major celebrations of architecture and the built environment.  London's landscape will be transformed during the spectacular month-long festival, which will include over 500 events for visitors as well as architecture professionals. Organised in association with Design for London, events including exhibitions, architect-designed pavilions, film-screenings will take place at national cultural institutions like the British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum, high profile outdoor public spaces, and places of architectural interest across the capital.

Five Festival Hubs across the capital will be defined areas of concentrated activity where events will take place. The RIBA Trust is curating events in the Kensington, Chelsea and Knightsbridge Hub from 20-25 June– focusing on museums and galleries in South Kensington, and on the proposed 'shared space' public realm scheme in Exhibition Road by Dixon Jones Architects.
