The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL - The Bartlett Summer Show 2026: Guided tours

Join themed guided tours of the Bartlett Summer Show 2026, led by exhibiting students from across The Bartlett School of Architecture. The tours offer a chance to explore selected highlights from the exhibition and hear directly from the students whose work is on display.

Each tour focuses on a different theme, showing how ideas develop from early briefs and research questions through to final architectural proposals. Visitors can gain behind-the-scenes insight into architectural education, design thinking, and the ways student projects respond to real-world contexts, people and places.

The tours are suitable for anyone curious about architecture and the built environment, including prospective students considering studying architecture. They take place in person at 22 Gordon Street, London, begin at the reception desk on the ground floor, and are free to attend with advance booking recommended.
