Catherine Lusted on a celebration of architecture

The London Festival of Architecture (LFA) is a month-long celebration of architecture and city-making, taking place every June across London. This year the festival theme is ‘Voices’ and for the third year running Barnet Council will be a LFA destination, delivering a series of events celebrating architecture, local art and cultural assets within the borough.

Barnet libraries are proud to be taking part again with lots of events tailored around the theme for adults and children, including creative Lego building activities and a walking tour through the woods of East Finchley. Find out more at www.londonfestivalofarchitecture.org/destinations/barnet/
