The Festival focuses on five 'Hubs' across London over five weekends, with the Kensington, Chelsea and Knightsbridge Hub, curated by the RIBA Trust, kicking off the Festival.

The Hub is focused around Exhibition Road which, on Midsummer's Day, 21 June, will be temporarily closed to traffic to host 'Explore Sites and Sounds'.

For the rest of the Festival, talks, exhibitions, events and debates in and around Exhibition Road, and across Kensington, Chelsea and Westminster will give visitors other opportunities to explore architecture, while walking, cycling and self-guided tours will reveal both the history and future of this part of London.

Charles Knevitt, director of the RIBA Trust said:  "The RIBA Trust sees the London Festival of Architecture as a great opportunity to show how architecture happens, the creative ideas, the different influences and factors that come together to make great buildings."
