East: High Street 2012
The East of London between Whitechapel and Stratford will host High Street 2012, representing the last 6km of the London Olympic Marathon in 2012, as well as a wider streetscape and regeneration strategy. It will also host a series of Festival activities including a new commission from critically-acclaimed Austrian architects Feld72 reviving a vacant town centre building, guided tours of the dynamic area in historic Routemaster buses, and interactive installations designed and built by international architecture students. The East Weekend is coordinated by The Architecture Foundation.

Design for London works as a local delivery partner for this part of the LFA programme.
