"Every project shortlisted in this year’s New London Awards is worthy of celebration. The Awards celebrate the best of London architecture - from housing to shops, from churches to temporary installations. While the judges have selected winners in a range of categories, the whole shortlist highlights the quality of much contemporary architecture in the capital. Over the decade we have been organising the Awards we have seen an ongoing improvement in design; one of the changes we have seen in recent years is a growing involvement of local communities in the design of new housing. While many such projects are still in the pipeline, this will be a key game changer in years to come.” Said NLA chairman and New London Awards judge Peter Murray

“At Chobham Manor, the London Legacy Development Corporation went above and beyond in demonstrating their commitment to good design and in creating high quality places for London. Quality of life was considered and embedded throughout all stages of the project’s development, delivery and legacy. It is an excellent example of how strategic decision making at an early stage, an ongoing commitment to good design throughout, and the right approach to procurement, engagement and inclusion create developments of which Londoners can be proud.” Said Jules Pipe, Deputy Mayor for Planning, Regeneration and Skills

“The South Kilburn Trust is committed to creating a space for local residents, business and organisations, now and for the long term. People tell us that the space matters. We worked closely with RCKa to come up with a concept that would take into account a wide range of uses, for a wide range of people, and the initial feedback is that together we have come up with something that really works” said Mark Allen, CEO of the South Kilburn Trust
