New London Architecture

New London Awards 2023 - Shortlist

The New London Awards, organised by NLA and supported by the Mayor of London, celebrates projects of varying scales across London. Shortlisted projects are built and unbuilt; their common thread is a sustainable, well-designed and considered approach. 

Following this shortlist announcement, an international jury will select winners for each category. Winning projects will be announced at the Annual Lunch, taking place in November at the Guildhall and will include a three-course meal and Official After Party (sponsored by Lockton).
