AJ100 2026

Established in 1995, the AJ100 survey is the definitive annual record of the UK’s largest architecture practices measured by the number of architects employed in the UK. 

The accompanying AJ100 awards programme celebrated the achievements of these firms, including those leading the way on climate action.

Practices were invited to attend the AJ100 Gala Lunch on 19 June, where the winners of the AJ100 awards were revealed. This celebratory event returned to the Honourable Artillery Company in London.
