Welcome to the Brompton Design District

The Brompton Design District, initiated by South Kensington Estates and local partners, was launched in 2007 to increase the presence of new design in an area renowned for its historic links with art, design, and education since the founding of the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Royal College of Art 150 years ago. Stretching from the Serpentine Gallery and the Royal College of Art to Brompton Cross, the district has been recognised as a dynamic hub for design in London, showcasing rising stars of new design alongside established European names.

“It would seem obvious that this area should be associated with contemporary creativity, given it’s extraordinary history and its fantastic proximity to the big inspirational institutions and universities ... so it’s good to see it at last teeming with creativity again and the benefit to the area is already palpable.”

Tom Dixon, Designer.
