Pitzhanger is hosting a diverse range of engaging events to explore and celebrate architecture and city-making.
Join us at Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery as we celebrate the London Festival of Architecture in June 2023. This month-long celebration of architecture and city-making across London has a theme of “In Common,” which explores how we create and shape the space we share: our city and how we make the most of what we have in common.
To mark this occasion, we’re hosting a series of events that offer something for everyone. Keep reading to learn more.
