There’s only one piece of equipment you need to find your way through the hundreds of shows and events that make up the annual London Design Festival, the icon design trail.

If you’re an old hand with the icon design trail, then you’ll notice that we’ve made a few changes this year. We wanted to make it even easier to use, so instead of dividing it up geographically like we used to, we’ve made it alphabetical and organised it by type of event: exhibitions and showrooms, talks and workshops and, of course, parties. We’ve also collected the maps together at the back, so you know where to find them.

Thanks are in order to Habitat, our sponsor, whose four central London stores are serving as hubs where you can pick up the design trail and buy the new redesigned issue of icon.
