It's LDF week, and this year's edition is surprisingly strong. Could it be that London's creative scene is recovering after a difficult decade?

In this episode, Dezeen design editor Jennifer Hahn is joined by deputy editor Cajsa Carlson and design and reporter Jane Englefield, who have been out and about at London Design Festival (LDF).

They pick out their highlights from the week, and discuss why this year feels different to previous years.
