London Festival of Architecture

For the second year, Barnet is one of a handful of destination boroughs for the London Festival of Architecture, with a range of events taking place across the month that you can get involved with.

Barnet is a great, family-friendly place to live, work and study, and is known for being one of London’s largest and greenest boroughs. Barnet has a proud history of diverse communities and cultures living side-by-side and being a place where people feel welcomed and celebrated.

We have a rich network of artists and cultural organisations who have made the borough their home.

Building on the success of the first year of the London Festival of Architecture in Barnet in 2023, we are pleased to welcome the Festival back in June and celebrate its 20th anniversary.

The Festival theme of ‘Reimagine’ resonates with the council’s commitment to make Barnet a cultural destination, championing innovative, creative placemaking and public art.

We want to support and celebrate the borough’s existing and emerging creative talent, strengthen and connect communities and reimagine culture, the arts, and its role in shaping Barnet’s future to encourage a thriving cultural sector.
