116 PALL MALL HOSTS
AFRICA FASHION WEEK LONDON 2023
AFWL MOVES TO THE HEART OF ST JAMES’
We seem to be moving around quite a bit this year! After moving from our home at Freemasons’ Hall
for 2023, we thought we would return to Olympia West Hall, but unfortunately (or fortunately!) that
also fell through. The prestigious Institute of Directors have kindly offered to host us for our 3-day
event. And the building is GORGEOUS inside and out!
After the beauty of FMH, nothing less will do! Take a look!
EXTERIORS, INTERIORS & STAIRCASES
Just steps away from Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus, the stunning Georgian building has a
truly unique history. Raised in 1828 on the site of the Prince of Wales’ palace, Carlton House, 116 Pall
Mall was designed and built by John Nash – architect of Marble Arch, The Brighton Pavilion and
Buckingham Palace.
The building is Grade 1 listed which means that nothing can be changed. The dramatic flooring and
magnificent chandelier gifted by George IV are original. Africa Fashion Week London – in our 13th
year – is deserving of royal approval!
ps…we do still have a few designer and exhibitor spaces available – register now!
