London Planning Awards

The London Planning Awards were established to celebrate those working in planning who make notable contributions to London's landscape. They are an excellent way of showcasing the work of individual clients and London boroughs as well as raising the overall profile of planning in the capital.

The Awards are run in partnership by RTPI, London First, the Greater London Authority and London Councils.
