For the finale of London Design Festival, the Victoria and Albert Museum in collaboration with the Design Museum, Natural History Museum, Science Museum, Imperial College London and Brompton Design District, hosted a special event on Exhibition Road focusing on design solutions to the climate emergency.

Exhibition Road Day of Design street celebration included an extensive programme exploring the role of design in fostering new ideas and changing attitudes towards food consumption, energy use and waste management. The day featured free, drop-in installations, talks and workshops as well as a food-waste feast staged on upcycled furniture created from the V&A's exhibition packing crates. Climate change experts hosted these tables, giving visitors the chance to discuss important issues around the future of our planet, whilst sharing a meal created from ‘food waste’. Installations included the Plastic Pavilion made from 1600 plastic bottles and Nest on Museum Lane, a structure that people could climb into made from sustainable American Red Oak.
