New London Architecture (NLA) is an independent information resource and discussion forum focused on London's built environment. Its audience are professionals, the public and politicians.[1]

Origins and purpose

NLA was founded in 2005[2] and its stated mission is "to bring people together to shape a better city".[3]

Activities

NLA delivers over 150 events per year, including a mixture of round table discussions, conferences, debates, talks, walking tours, and receptions. The organisation also publishes research,[4] hosts rotating exhibitions,[5] holds awards[6] and organises international ideas competitions, such as "New Ideas for Housing" (2015).[7] NLA's main publication is New London Quarterly. New London Quarterly is circulated to 5,000 leading people with an interest in London's built environment.[8] Its galleries are open, free of charge, six days a week and receive over 10,000 visitors each month.[9]

New London Model

The NLA's permanent exhibition includes a 1:2000-scale interactive model of central London. The model is approximately 12.5 metres (41 ft) long and represents an area in excess of 85 square kilometres (33 sq mi) of London.[10] It was improved and extended in 2015.[11]
