I just came across these London Science Festival folks on Twitter this morning (thank you Ruth Seeley). They have a website featuring a number of interesting postings including this  from Dec. 31, 2010 about fashion designer Alexander McQueen and science,

The festival itself will run from Oct. 19 – 26, 2011. Here’s more about the event and the organizers from the About page,

Welcome to to virtual home of London Science Festival!

London Science Festival is a brand new festival for London in 2011, which was founded with the mission to inspire and engage the public in all things scientific, from natural science to science in its most cultural contexts.

We created this Festival blog so you can follow us over the next year as we build a science festival. We’ll also be sharing interesting events and exhibitions from our friends and partners.

Right now, we’re finalising agreements with our committee and institutional partners – but, there will be an open application process which will be announced in the New Year, so any individual or organisation can apply to host an event within our programme.

Note the dates of the Festival, 19-26 October 2011, and get in touch (info@londonscifest.com) if you would like to recommend a project, or discuss ideas for collaboration.

You can keep updated on Festival news via this site, our Twitter page, Facebook page, or our self-subscribe mailing list.
