Public Spaces Sponsorship at the NLA Awards

We were honoured to sponsor the Public Spaces category at the 2025 NLA Awards on 20th November 2025 at a prestigious lunch in the Great Hall of the Guildhall.

The shortlisted schemes in this category demonstrated the immense value of thoughtful placemaking, encompassing projects in both London’s bustling business districts and its suburban town centres. The competition was fierce, with the four shortlisted projects – Plumstead Good Growth, Cool Streets & Greening Programme, Child Friendly Chingford, and Eden Dock – all showcasing creative and climate-conscious design in response to key challenges in public realm design.

The Winners

A huge congratulations to the winners, Eden Dock by Howells & HTA Design for Canary Wharf Group who were selected by an esteemed international panel.

It is fantastic to see this project recognised for its contribution to shaping a more sustainable and inclusive London.
