London’s best architecture honored at the 2025 RIBA London Awards

The Royal Institute of British Architects has recognized 38 projects as winners of the RIBA London Awards 2025. The diverse pool of projects ranged from the reinvention of the former Royal London Hospital to the restoration of the Westminster’s Elizabeth Tower to an almshouse designed to reduce social isolation for older generations.

“This year’s winners exemplify architecture’s power to transform - turning spaces into places of connection, creativity, and care,” RIBA President Muyiwa Oki said about the projects. “Spanning the length of the UK and diverse in form and function, our 2025 winners show a deep sensitivity to place and a strong coherence of thought between all teams involved. Individually these projects inspire and uplift, but collectively, they remind us that architects do far more than design buildings, they shape the way we live, work and connect.”  

Each of the Regional list winners will now go on to compete in the RIBA National Award competition, the winner of which is expected to be announced on July 10th. In the meantime, the full list of winners of the RIBA London Awards 2025 is as follows:
