The London Design Medal that is presented to a designer who has contributed to Brittish design was awarded to Thomas Heatherwick.
The London Design Festival is held each year in September and is regarded as the "starter gun" for the capital's cultural autumn, followed closely by London Fashion Week and Frieze, which combine to offer six weeks of celebration of the creative industries. This year over 350 000 visitors came to London for the festival. The prestigious London Design Medal was won by Thomas Heatherwick.
Next year the London Design Festival will run from 17 – 25 September 2011.
