Boris's Story of London

2009-06-16
A festival celebrating London's past, present and future

A foreword from the Mayor of London

Welcome to the Story of London Festival – a month long celebration of London’s past, present and future. This pan-London jamboree showcases the city’s huge and glorious heritage, highlights many unique facets of its present day cultural offer and takes a sometimes fun, sometimes serious look at its future.

I hope the programme will contain something for everyone; whether you’re a visitor to London from abroad or the UK, a Londoner wanting to discover something new about your city, a family looking for interesting ideas for days in June or a student who wants to participate in one of many debates taking place during the month.

One of my hopes for the festival was that it should showcase some of the capital’s smaller heritage and history organisations. There is a myriad of heritage and history sites, objects and organisations across London waiting to be discovered – that’s why I’m particularly pleased that in its fifteenth year, the Heritage Lottery Fund is contributing so fully to this festival both in terms of sponsorship, exhibitions and events. I’m also very grateful to the London Museums Hub, Museums, Libraries and Archives London and English Heritage for their close collaboration.
