New London Quarterly is NLA’s magazine about built environment issues as they affect the capital.

Edited by David Taylor, the magazine is aimed at everybody with an interest in London – the way it works, the way it looks and the way its future development is being planned and delivered.
 
The 41st issue has been redesigned to refresh its look and feel and building on its collection of interviews, building reviews, opinion pieces and in depth coverage of built environment issues as they affect the capital. 
 
Along with new columnist Yolande Barnes, the issue includes a look at the Brunel Building in Paddington by Fletcher Priest and the LSE Centre Building by Rogers Stark Harbour + Partners.

There is a focus on the new teams, with a full interview with the leading lights at Enfield Council and their quest to transform Meridian Water, a special feature on climate action, and an interview with activist and campaigner Eileen Conn.

We take a look at Orms on their 35th year in business, headlined by The Standard hotel in King's Cross, a preview from Graham Howarth of the industrial revolution his practice is seeking in Albert Island and a focus on Sadie Morgan’s Quality of Life Foundation.

This issue is also climate neutral – the carbon emissions generated in the manufacture and delivery have been calculated and offset by supporting recognised carbon offset projects. It is made using offshore wind electricity, printed on recycled paper using vegetable-based ink and will be delivered in a potato starch polybag.

Ultimately, it’s a changing magazine, for changing times.

Michael Cassidy reflects on 40 years influencing the City and beyond.

Activist and passionated Peckham-ite Eileen Conn says communities need fact-based audits.
