The official dates
The September 2026 edition runs from Thursday 17 September to Monday 21 September. The official London Fashion Week website is the live checkpoint for the schedule, participating designers and format of each event. Recheck it before making travel or accommodation plans.
How to read the schedule
The programme can combine runway shows, presentations, appointments and digital releases. Filter by day and event type, then open the individual listing for its latest time and access details. A designer appearing on the schedule does not mean every part of that programme is open to the public.
Industry access and public events
Many core events are designed for accredited press, buyers and invited guests. Do not buy unofficial access or assume a social-media invitation is valid. Public-facing talks, exhibitions, retail activations and brand events may run around fashion week, but availability and booking conditions must be checked with the named organiser.
Build a compact London plan
Venues and related activity can be spread across central London. Anchor the day around one confirmed event, then add nearby galleries, shops or food rather than crossing the city repeatedly. Allow for queues, security and street congestion around high-profile venues.
Travel and arrival
Check TfL status close to departure and save the exact entrance, not only the venue name. Arrive with enough time for accreditation or security checks, and plan the return separately if an event finishes late. A contactless backup and charged phone make last-minute route changes easier.
Use official ticket routes
The official schedule and the participating designer or venue should identify any legitimate booking route. Be cautious with resale listings, copied QR codes and offers that promise backstage or guaranteed runway access. If an event is invitation-only, no third-party payment makes the invitation authentic.
