London, 7 Inspiring Design Spots

As a student, I only learned about the origins of design, William Morrison, and many graphic designs in England, but I never had the chance to experience the city directly. On this business trip, I was able to fully experience the aesthetics of London through the heritage style with its own history, legendary urban graphic design, and restrained industrial design. I will share with you 7 impressive London design spots that I saw on this business trip.
