Join us for an afternoon of fun, learning, and a ‘Big Lunch’, as we showcase a neighbourhood of talent and potential, finding places of belonging amidst rapid change:
Following our first venture during LFA2025 that gave voice to the east of our borough in early stages of housing-related transformation, the 2026 theme of Belonging’ takes us way out west, where regeneration/placemaking is omnipresent and where the time is right for local residents to take stock on progress.
Fully-accessible workshops led by refugee architect Otmane Meguenni will build a ‘cardboard city’ in response to conversations about heritage, mobility, and public assets.
