The London Design Festival was hosted throughout September. Art and design was showcased throughout the city with larger installations on display in front of various public venues, such as South Bank, V&A, St. Paul's Cathedral, and Covent Garden. The London Design Festival exhibited graphic design, furniture, crafts, fashion, architecture, and art across London as well as held discussions and seminars from individuals in the field.

Hmm it looks like your site http://jenikya.com/blog/2011/10/london-design-festival.html ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I'll just sum it up what I had written and say, I'm thoroughly enjoying your blog on London Design Festival 2011 - Jenikya's Blog. I too am an aspiring blog blogger but I'm still new to everything. Do you have any suggestions for novice blog writers? I'd really appreciate it if you did a blog.
This is a pretty good site, good job!
