London: Melting Pot of Cultures

Did you know that London is one of the most multicultural cities in the world？ Here, there are about 300 different cultures living side by side. Forget tea and sandwiches, now it is more common for a Londoner to drink cappuccino for breakfast, and eat Thai food for lunch in the local pub. Let’s see how life has changed in Britain’s capital.

A India

Most people from India arrived in London in the 1950s and 60s. Now there is a strong Asian presence here – in the shops, markets and, of course, the restaurants. In fact, curry is Britain’s favorite takeaway meal. A typical family has a curry every two weeks, either delivered or bought ready-made from the supermarket. Indian people live all over London. Southall, in the far west of the city, is one of many places well known for its Indian culture.

B Poland

This community represents more than 1% of the UK’s total population and is growing rapidly. In London, many Polish people live in the Hammersmith area, in the west of the city. Here, there are several Catholic churches, and delicatessens which sell the country’s specialities such as beetroot soup (barszcz) or Polish cakes and snacks. Were they right to come？ Young Poles say they can easily earn three times as much money here as at home, where unemployment remains high.

C West Africa

West Africans – mainly from Ghana and Nigeria – have brought a wealth of languages, music and culture to the British capital. Many London markets sell their traditional foods like yams and different types of rice. A lot of Nigerians live in the south-east London area, in suburbs like Deptford.

e of our teachers was explaining something quite complex to us.It was the last class before the mid-term.Then somebody asked the teacher if this material would be on the test.When he said no, people laughed and, losing all interest in the problem, proceeded to make so much noise that the teacher had difficulty finishing his explanation.Perhaps I am being harsh, but all this cheating and exam mania does not suggest the mindset of a far-sighted business elite.
