Brentford Golden Mile

LFA 2025 Destinations:

Brentford Golden Mile

Celebrating the Golden Mile centenary.

The journey from Heathrow to London by road often reveals an impressive array of industrial-era architecture along the route into central London. These striking buildings, many showcasing Art Deco and other early 20th-century styles, form part of the Golden Mile, a historic industrial hub now undergoing a remarkable transformation.

In 2025, as part of the London Festival of Architecture and a year-long series of centenary celebrations, the Golden Mile will commemorate 100 years since the Great West Road’s inception – GM100. Visitors are invited to explore this evolving area, reflect on its legacy, and envision its future.

More than a celebration of the past, GM100 will set the foundation for the Golden Mile’s next century, inspiring community participation and fostering innovation. Join us to discover how this iconic corridor can continue to shape London’s identity and opportunities for generations to come.
