New London Architecture

Study Tour: Aberfeldy Village

Tour

Wednesday 24 September 2025
08:30 - 10:00

Join us for a study tour of Aberfeldy Village to explore the new neighbourhood and see how it is transforming with a significant new London park at its heart.
This tour will demonstrate how a multidisciplinary team of urban designers, architects, and landscape architects collaborated closely with the client to deliver phases 1-3 of this large-scale urban regeneration masterplan in Poplar. 
 
This work was shaped by a meaningful community engagement process, resulting in a new residential neighbourhood rooted in lasting social and environmental responsibility.
 
Please note the capacity for this event is very limited and therefore tickets will be allocated on a first come first served basis, with a maximum of 2 per organisation.
