John Morden Centre is 7/4 favourite to win this year's RIBA Stirling Prize

Betting is now available for the RIBA Stirling Prize following the announcement of the nominees for the prize and it is Blackheath's John Morden Centre that is the favourite.

The John Morden Centre is 7/4 at the top of the betting market to win the highest prize in UK architecture with 6 buildings in the running to be crowned the best this year.

Mæ Architects have already won the RIBA London Award 2023 and RIBA London Building of the Year Award 2023 for the John Morden Centre and could now go one better.

William Hill say that there's a 36% chance of the John Morden Centre winning the prestigious award just ahead of A House for Artists in Barking.
