Huge street festivals, big-name local heroes, art trails and mysterious outdoor installations will take over Waltham Forest in 2019 to celebrate the first ever London Borough of Culture.
If you’re yet to fully discover the thriving arts and culture scene that makes this north-east borough so special, now’s your chance. London Borough of Culture award is a major new initiative launched by the Mayor of London.
Its mission is to put culture at the heart of local communities, and to shine a light on the character and diversity of London’s boroughs. We’ve picked our highlights of this year-long series of events (many of which are free).
Remember: Transport for London is there for you to get out and about in Waltham Forest. All these events can be reached on its network, and most take place during off-peak hours, making your trip even more affordable. Happy exploring!
