The most colourful, design-full time of year in London is once again upon us... and we’re about to give you the low-down.

Kicking off tomorrow, Thursday 24 September, we’ll have the 2009 100% Design London fully covered thanks to our writer on the ground, Jackie Hawkins.’¨

Jackie is a freelance writer and publicist for design and architecture, assisting a range of designers with their communications needs. Jackie will be in London for the four-day festival, checking out all the latest products and talented designers. She’ll be bringing us news of the Blueprint Awards and checking out Designers Block; she’ll also catch up with some young Aussie designers and regale us with insider details for 100% Futures.’¨

Those lucky enough to be in London Towne for the festivities will probably be too busy to check in, but for the rest of us stuck half way around the world putting up with dust, floods, fires and storms, Jackie will be our eyes and ears.

Stay tuned for the next four days as we bring you daily updates; or catch next week’s newsletter for a full summary of events.’¨
