South Bankside Urban Forests 3rd July - 4th July

The final weekend of the London Festival of Architecture (3rd - 4th July) brings focus to the area stretching between the culturally vibrant south bank of the River Thames and the Elephant and Castle area further south.

Taking its cues from Witherford Watson Mann architects’ Bankside Urban Forest scheme, it will create multiple opportunities for exchange between Festival visitors and local residents.

Festival activities include a theatre built from locally-sourced recycled materials by German architects Köbberling and Kaltwasser a pop-up cookery school at Borough Market, and guerrilla gardening projects. There will also be tours of the Tate Modern oil tanks and members of the Transforming Tate Modern team and Tate staff will also be on hand to talk about the project and answer any questions.

If you’re looking to explore the London Festival of Architecture then make sure you are staying at umi Hotel London which is centrally placed for you to enjoy all that London has to offer.
