Welcome to The London Centre

Home of NLA, London’s built environment community, and located in the West Wing of the Guildhall complex, the Centre highlights the people, places and buildings that make London a world class city.

The Centre brings together the public, politicians, and young people as well as London’s stakeholders, senior decision makers, and Civic leaders from all over the world - opening in partnership with the City of London Corporation in support of its ‘Destination City’ strategy to attract more people into the Square Mile.

We focus on a range of issues that impact the built environment alongside the New London Model and the City Model - all on display together for the first time! As a central hub for NLA, the Centre is a place for networking, private and public events, debates, think tanks, and discussions about London and beyond. 

There are also numerous opportunities for further showcases of materials, products and projects that are helping to shape a better city. Explore our venue hire and showcase options and learn more about our exhibitions and upcoming events.

 

The London Centre will be closed on the following occasions:

  • Closed all day on Wednesday 9th July
  • Closed all day on Wednesday 17th September for the London Real Estate Forum

 

Access:
There are two ways of entering the London Centre: either up 3 steps with a handrail on either side, or via a platform lift. There are gender-neutral and accessible toilets on the lower ground floor, which can be accessed via a flight of stairs. Please note that there will be temporary lift works taking place between Monday, 21st July until early September. For step-free access to the accessible toilets, please notify a member of staff who will assist.

If you would like more information about the space, or have any further access requirements, please let us know how we can best accommodate these, by emailing events@nla.london.
