London Fashion Week: public events on 20 September

London Fashion Week runs from 17 to 21 September 2026. The British Fashion Council lists 47 catwalk shows, 23 presentations, 10 digital activations and 53 evening events. Most headline runway shows remain invitation-only, but the parallel programme includes places ordinary visitors can attend.

We checked the events for Sunday 20 September against the official British Fashion Council and London Fashion Week pages. Check the organiser’s page again before travelling because opening times and venue capacity can change.

BFC jewellery and the Nike Café

The BFC Jewellery Showcase at Dover Street Market brings together pieces from BFC Foundation designers and British Fashion Council members. It is marked OPEN TO PUBLIC in the official programme. The British Fashion Council also says the British Vogue x Nike Café at the Corner Shop, 180 Strand, is open to everyone on 19 and 20 September.

For these two locations, check the official LFW schedule for the latest same-day hours before travelling.

Before you go

“Open to the public” does not always guarantee immediate entry: smaller venues may temporarily restrict access when they reach capacity. Avoid buying questionable “London Fashion Week access” from intermediaries when the official event page says admission is free.
