Arts and Culture
Culture really matters. It makes people healthier and happier, it can bring different communities together and so much more besides. Culture is what makes London, London.
Culture is London...
‘Let’s Do London’ was launched in May 2021 –the biggest domestic tourism campaign the capital has ever seen - to bring Londoners and visitors from across the UK safely back to central London to enjoy our world-class culture, nightlife, retail and hospitality.
There is so much to love in the capital and everyone should have a chance to enjoy what's on their doorstep.
