What is The Mayor’s London Borough of Culture?
Introduced by the Mayor of London in 2017, The Mayor’s London Borough of Culture award offers more than £1m of funding for two boroughs to host a range of cultural events, activities and initiatives over a whole year.
Waltham Forest in north-east London was named The Mayor's London Borough of Culture for 2019, and Brent won the award for 2020.
In spring 2019, the mayor announced a second round of the competition with Lewisham winning the award for 2021 and Croydon for 2023. The two winning boroughs were selected from a competition that was open to all London boroughs.
The Mayor’s London Borough of Culture award brings Londoners together, putting culture at the heart of local communities, shining a light on the character and diversity of London’s boroughs.
