our story.

Born in London, inspired by Black Rock City. Since our first gathering in 2012, London Decom has grown into one of the world’s largest running regional Burning Man events.

What started as a small group of friends with a shared dream has become a living and breathing community, thousands strong and powered by volunteers year after year.

We believe in the Principles of Burning Man, the power of community and the importance of leaving no trace.
We build spaces where imagination leads, everyone belongs and magic happens.

Everyone, absolutely everyone on the team is a volunteer, from the greeters at the gates to the artists and DJs, from the theme camps and web team to the humans dedicated to your welfare and safety.
