Background

2010 saw the birth of this multicultural festival. It arose from a simple team building day made up of creative individuals representing a fraction of the different communities in London. Together we spent the day traipsing around London from Richmond, Brixton and Harrow to Brick Lane, Camden and Cockfosters soaking up the vibrancy and many cultures London has to offer.  It was amazing, educational and so much fun. We witnessed Turkish women making traditional Turkish bread, observed how to make real Chinese Eggdrop soup and drank Indian Lassi.

That’s when we summed it up instantly. “Why spend months travelling around the world to sample different cultures when you can spend two weeks in London and do the same thing”. The rest as they say is history!

The London Culture Festival is curated and produced by Vjem Events.
