This event has already taken place.

The latest in our series of Ideas For London Salons, the fast-paced forum for those with new ideas to shape London’s future.

As before, the Salon offers the floor to people from all walks of life with ideas, innovation and energy to shape the capital for the better. We are keeping our Pecha Kucha format (20 visuals, 20 seconds long), keeping the evening fun, lively and dynamic as we explore forward-looking ideas for our city.

With a new venue and some of the leading brains behind London policy speaking, we’re looking forward to a great event. See you there.

If you have a burning idea for London, you can submit it here.
