Gingerbread City is a popular annual attraction in London, organised by the Museum of Architecture. It’s the sweetest exhibition during the festive season.

Discover a whole city made entirely from gingerbread, decorated with colourful candy, frosting, gummies and biscuits. There are over 50 mouth-watering buildings on display (please, don’t eat them) that took months for artists to bake, assemble and decorate.

Every year, Gingerbread City has a new theme. This year, the exhibition is revolving around recycling.
‘Recycled City’ is exploring how buildings and places could be repurposed into biscuity landscapes while preserving their heritage and addressing social challenges, including housing and transport.
You will recognise famous London railway stations, the Battersea Power Station, the Big Ben and many other famous buildings.

To make the experience more fun, kids (and adults) can embark on a treasure hunt. Can you find all the hidden characters and little details?
The exhibition does not just offer ginger smells and incr-edible displays but shares the story of how architects and designers can help solving problems, such as climate change or sustainable living.
