Prism at the V&A

Dezeen is reporting on the London Design Festival this week and we're covering the events in all kinds of ways. 

The most popular story we've featured so far is the Prism visualisation of the city's digital data installed in the cupola of the V&A museum (above).

You can use our free London Design Festival map to find your way around the festival. 

Our audio guide includes short talks from designers and thinkers about work they're exhibiting and emerging themes.

We've organised a series of aerial installations by seven designers in the Seven Dials district of Covent Garden.

In addition to Dezeen Super Store we've got two Dezeen Watch Store pop-up shops.

Finally, we're presenting a programme of daily live shows at 100% Design.
