New London Award 2016 winners

The annual New London awards, organised and hosted by New London Architecture, celebrates the best new architecture and developments across London, United Kingdom. The winners were announced yesterday 7 July at NLA’s Annual Lunch at The Guildhall.

Developments from 26 categories were honoured across all sectors of London’s built environment, ranging from Housing to Offices, Education to Transport & Infrastructure, and Public Spaces to Masterplans & Area Strategies. Each scheme was selected by an international jury advised by London-based experts for having both the highest design quality and most positive social and economic impact for London.
