"The Stirling Prize is, for those not in-the-know, essentially an award for the best new building in the UK. Dished out yearly by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), it aims to celebrate all kinds of new projects across the country, whether that's a skyscraper, office block, care home or renovation. It's widely seen as Britain's most prestigious architecture dong."
"Most years London does well in the Stirling Prize - in fact, just last year the capital's Elizabeth line won it. And the capital is very much in contention to win in 2025, too. In a shortlist announced yesterday (September 3), four of this year's six Stirling Prize finalists are in the capital. The shortlist follows RIBA's London Awards, which were given to eight projects across the city back in July."
The RIBA Stirling Prize honors the best new building in the UK across all project types. Four of the six 2025 finalists are located in London, continuing the capital's strong performance in the award. The 2024 winner was the Elizabeth line, and the 2025 shortlist was announced on September 3. London entries include the restored Elizabeth Tower by Purcell, featuring repaired stonework, refurbished rooms and a new passenger lift described as the tower's most extensive conservation in 160 years. The London College of Fashion in Stratford offers flexible teaching spaces and is billed as the UK's tallest higher education building. Niwa House transforms a derelict East Dulwich site behind terraces.
