THE LONDON i, the luxury independent eyewear show dedicated to bringing together distinctive names in independent eyewear, announces the dates for its next Spring edition: VOLUME VIII will take place on 27th and 28th February 2027 at Protein Studios in Shoreditch, London. Following another successful edition, THE LONDON i will return to Shoreditch for its eighth edition, continuing its mission to create a more connected, intentional and relationship-led environment for the independent eyewear community.
“VOLUME VIII is about continuing to build on what THE LONDON i has always stood for: meaningful relationships and a genuine sense of community,” says Francesca Chapman, Founder of THE LONDON i. “We want every edition to feel considered and personal – a place where independent brands and opticians have the time and space to connect properly, discover new ideas and create relationships that continue long after the show. For us, the real value of the event is not simply what happens over two days, but what those connections can become afterwards.”

Designed as a meeting point for independent brands, agents and opticians, THE LONDON i offers an alternative to the traditional trade show format: a carefully curated setting where meaningful conversations, discovery and long-term relationships take centre stage. The event has established itself as a distinctive platform within the independent eyewear calendar, bringing together brands and optical professionals who share a passion for creativity, craftsmanship, individuality and independent thinking. The 2027 edition will take place on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th February, bringing the independent eyewear community together at Protein Studios, Shoreditch, one of London’s most creative and dynamic neighbourhoods.
Further details on participating brands, registration and the programme for THE LONDON i VOLUME VIII will be announced in the coming months.
