Havering London calling upon residents to back the bid to make the borough ‘Havering London Borough of Culture.’

This will fuel the change we need to create new opportunities for every part of our borough, allowing us to create a lasting impact through a diverse range of projects.

“We are committed to co-creating world-leading artistic events and experiences with our residents, placing people at the heart. We will unlock Havering’s hidden stories and showcase the vibrancy of our community. The goal is to empower everyone, offering pathways to creative careers and opportunities for participation that enhance well-being.

“Throughout the journey, we will collaborate with exceptional artists, community groups, and dedicated volunteers who share a passion for Havering’s cultural life.
