The Community for Graphic Designers and other creatives in London

London has one of the biggest design scenes in the world, and in a city this size it is easy to stay a stranger to it. The Creative Lunch Club matches you once a month with two other creatives from London for lunch, and members host meetups across the city.

Why Graphic Designers choose London

Design in every neighbourhood

Clerkenwell is full of architecture studios, agencies and showrooms, Shoreditch has a strong design and startup scene, and Hackney Wick and Peckham are home to studios and creative spaces. Wherever you work, other designers are close by.

Design events all year

London Design Festival fills the city with installations, exhibitions and talks every year, Leading Design brings design leaders together for two days, and SXSW London adds creativity and technology. CreativeMornings, Ladies, Wine & Design and The Design Kids run events in London too.

Leading design schools

London is home to Central Saint Martins, the Royal College of Art and London College of Communication, so every year a new generation of designers graduates in the city.
