New London Awards

Supported by the Mayor of London, our annual New London awards seeks projects which demonstrate the positive impact high-quality design, planning and construction can have on people, neighbourhoods and the city.

A prestigious international jury of architecture and urban design experts, advised by a team of London-based sector expert assessors, select the shortlisted and winning projects from across the 13 different categories. The schemes included range in scales and sectors, from housing to offices, public spaces to conservation projects, masterplans to major new infrastructure, and highlight the best projects being developed in London in any given year.
