“We are a nation of refugees” The Times, 1858 “London is the most and most successfully multicultural city in Europe…Diasporas have sustained us.” China Mieville, 2012

Why is all this important? London’s global success; economic, cultural and social, is partly due to being a global city which reflects the world and is open to the world. Londoners speak the world’s languages, understand the world’s cultures and are facing the world’s issues: inequalities, tensions and conflicts. We need to know more about our past and where we’ve come from. We need to know about our various and multiple identities.
