Multilingual London

The Multilingual London festival gave us the opportunity to celebrate the many languages of London through the works of the city’s writers.

London is home to over 300 languages and we can hear and see this expressed through stories, poetry, songs and books. The Multilingual London Festival showcased this vibrant mix of languages London-based writers use to weave real and imagined worlds.

Our resources – commissioned in partnership with the Museum of London – and the recordings from the Festival will introduce you to a London brimming with different languages.
