Seed130 x London Design Festival 2025: In Bloom
Seed130 is proud to announce that we are an official partner for this year’s London Design Festival (13–21 September 2025).
The London Design Festival (LDF) is one of the world’s leading celebrations of design and creativity. Since 2003, it has transformed London into a global stage for the best and brightest creative talent, with installations, exhibitions, and events taking place across the city.
As an official London Design Festival venue, Seed130 is delighted to open its doors to the public with a programme that celebrates creativity, sustainability, and collective imagination. Developed in partnership with the National Trust, Transport for London, and Futurecity, the series brings together artists, practitioners, and the public to reflect on how design can nurture resilient and connected communities. Take a look below to see the programmes we’ll be running this September.
