And then there’s the fun stuff that
cultural diversity brings, in music,
food and the arts. The days of fish
and chips are behind us, as a walk
around the capital shows. Almost every
district has Lebanese, Chinese, Thai
and Vietnamese restaurants. Thousands
of Londoners visit the Notting Hill
Carnival every year to dance to steel
bands, reggae, soca, calypso and jazz.
Our cinemas show films from India
and South America and thousands of
people fill our pubs and clubs to listen
to everything from Irish dance bands
to African hip-hop. Welcome to New
Britain: a confident, tolerant country
which is proud of its many cultures.
