London Design Festival (LDF) comes to Victoria for the first time with the creation of the Victoria
Connections Design District.
Working with the theme of ‘Connections: people and places’ the Victoria Connections Design District showcases the role that
design plays in creating a place such as Victoria.
Different forms of design can be seen in a variety of events and activities, delivered by an array of local businesses including
The Telegraph, Westminster Cathedral, the Apollo Victoria Theatre and tech pioneers Somo Global.
The District events seek to show visitors how excellence in design is now part of the new landscape of Victoria - a place with a
fascinating history and an exciting future.

FLORAL ART CUBEIn collaboration with Victoria BID, Zita Elze; The award winning floral designer, teacher, creator and RHS London’s Floral Artist in Residence 2018 brings to Victoria a floral installation which responds foremost to the concept of a city square, a place to meet and a place to relax: a square (cube) within a square. It also offers an opportunity to engage with the Floral Art Cube itself, to not just think but be ‘outside the box’. The mirrored panels embedded in each of the 4 facets reflect and celebrate the buildings around the Piazza.
