As part of LFA2020, the LFA and Royal Docks Team have unveiled five new benches across the Royal Docks as part of the Pews and Perches design competition.

The competition, now in its second year, invited architecture and design students, recent graduates and emerging practitioners to deliver a playful new take on street furniture that can celebrate the Royal Docks and the communities at home in the area – a series of conversation starters to re-connect everyone with nature and the docks’ built environment.

In this episode we spoke to the designers of the winning benches to hear the stories behind their designs.

Produced and edited by Eliza Grosvenor.
