A Place with a Rich Cultural Heritage. It Has Had a Consistent History FOREWORD Tower Hamlets is a borough immersed in culture; a place with a rich cultural heritage. It has had a consistent history of cultural diversity for over hundreds of years and has been a place where people from all over the world have come to live, work and visit. This diverse population is a unique feature - and one which the community can feel proud of. Tower Hamlets is very much a global borough, with economic and social activity that influences international capital and local communities alike. From Bethnal Green in the North to the Isle of Dogs in the South, Poplar in the East and to the Tower of London in the West, the borough spans a diverse community that makes Tower Hamlets what it is today. The borough has an extremely rich and diverse range of cultural attractions - from household names like the Tower of London and Petticoat Lane Market, to the numerous artists and craftspeople working largely unseen across the borough. It is one borough, made up of a wide mix of different people from all over the world, and the cultural strategy outlined on the following pages will demonstrate the full range of cultural provision that seeks to enhance the quality of their lives. Through cultural activity and opportunity, the Council and its partners, are seeking to fulfil the commitment to community cohesion by offering everyone activities and leisure opportunities through which they can achieve greater fulfilment and personal development. Culture in Tower Hamlets can be defined in many ways, but the abiding principle of culture in this community is its people. Cultural activity and opportunity brings people together, respects their diversity and celebrate differences. In doing so, culture contributes to making Tower Hamlets: • A Better Place for Living Safely. • A Better Place for Living Well • A Better Place for Creating and Sharing Prosperity • A Better Place for Learning, Achievement and Leisure • A Better Place for Excellent Public Services So what exactly is ‘culture’? The word encompasses a range of activities. It can include sport, the arts, festivals, play, watching television, reading, learning, attending church, mosque or synagogue, going on holiday and visiting a restaurant. At a wider public level, the availability of cultural opportunities can attract people to visit or live in an area, or encourage business to locate there. Participation in cultural activity can also produce a range of benefits - including social and personal development, education and learning, health and well-being, employment, a sense of feeling safer, community cohesion and empowerment and local regeneration. Together, the variety of cultural activities make a valuable contribution to the health and well-being of local communities, and are often the instigator, mover and shaker in developing sustainable communities. 1 Culture is particularly important to Tower Hamlets. Many people, both residents and non-residents, associate the borough with poverty and environmental stress, both of which are very real factors affecting the area. However despite this, Tower Hamlets is emerging as the cultural engine room of London, and the community of Tower Hamlets are seen as one of the most vibrant and culturally exciting in Europe. With such a lively cultural environment, it is hardly surprising that a number of the major regeneration programmes currently operating in Tower Hamlets have arts and leisure as an important aspect of their delivery. New Deal for Communities, Leaside and Cityside Regeneration are amongst the projects specifically targeting cultural activity and opportunity as key tools for regeneration. The following strategy is based on the principle that cultural activity is one of the most powerful tools available to promote the well-being and social cohesion of a community. Through this strategy, the Council affirms its absolute belief in multiculturalism and the ability of disparate communities, and people from diverse ethnic backgrounds, to live together in harmony and to prosper. This strategy will celebrate the uniqueness of Tower Hamlets, identifying what it is like to live, visit and enjoy the varied cultural activity available across the borough. It is also about highlighting ways that culture is delivered, and it will seek to establish the most appropriate cultural ‘offer’ for Tower Hamlets. Finally it sets out an action plan that takes on board the findings of research and community consultation, to identify how services can be improved for the benefit of local people. Furthermore, the strategy demonstrates that the cultural offer is made up of many elements which, when brought together, provide a holistic service that is greater than just the sum of its parts. Clearly, the Council has the lead responsibility for effective co-ordination of this strategy. It will, however, need effective partnerships with many local agencies and organisations to deliver the challenging agenda set out in the action plan. I hope you will take the opportunity to read this document, and will continue to take part in the many cultural activities provided in Tower Hamlets. Your feedback and future contributions to the document will be welcomed as part of our continuing review of culture in the borough. Councillor Ataur Rahman Lead Member for Leisure Services 2 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 What do we mean by culture? From a walk in the park, to enjoying a local festival, visit to a cinema, restaurant, art gallery or museum, from borrowing books from a local library or Idea Store, playing football with friends, participating in a lifelong learning class, to assisting with a theatre production or taking the children to the playground, culture can mean different things to different people who live and work across the borough. The “scope of culture” has been recognised by the DCMS as having both a material and value dimension. It’s dimension is material through: ¾ The performing and visual arts, craft and fashion ¾ Media, film, television, video and language ¾ Museums, artefacts, archives and design ¾ Libraries, literature, writing and publishing ¾ The built heritage, architecture, landscape and archaeology ¾ Sports events, facilities and development ¾ Parks, open spaces, wildlife habitats, water environment and countryside recreation ¾ Children’s play, playgrounds and play activities ¾ Tourism, festivals and attractions ¾ Informal leisure pursuits It has a value dimension through: ¾ Relationships ¾ Shared memories, experiences and identity ¾ Diverse cultural, religious and historic backgrounds ¾ Standards ¾ What we consider valuable to pass on to future generations The intrinsic value of culture is central to the development of provision in Tower Hamlets. The strategy will seek to reinforce the positive role that cultural activity and opportunity plays in bringing people together, celebrating links between past, present and future; and by virtue of this creating a sense of community pride and cohesion. In addition, the local cultural and creative industries help to form the distinctive character of a local area and engender a real sense of local pride. Industries such as fashion, publishing, arts and music support a number of jobs and help to regenerate local communities, as well as playing a key role in encouraging education and learning, providing career paths, promoting healthy living and the well being of local people. 1.2 The process for developing the strategy This is a strategy developed through public consultations that took place between January and September 2002. Every effort has been made to prepare a strategy that truly reflects the aspirations of the whole community of the borough. With this in mind, it particularly aims to 3 address the concerns and issues of the voluntary (3rd) sector, the unique multiethnic population of the borough and key regeneration partners. To this end, it set up a Steering Group to inform and oversee the strategy. Members were drawn from minority ethnic groups, local educational organisations, the urban regeneration sphere and the cultural and creative industries. It seeks to recognise the importance of partnership and collaboration in delivering a truly effective, responsive and innovative cultural agenda in what is fast becoming the cultural engine room of the nation’s capital city. The policy statements and actions within it therefore seek to address, as a priority, key issues affecting partnership and collaboration across the cultural spectrum. The strategy represents a clear statement of leadership by the Council. It also strongly reflects priorities established in consultation with Tower Hamlets’ people, as set out in the Community Plan, and has been developed with the help and co- operation of a number of organisations across the borough. 1.3 Who is the strategy aimed at? The reader should be aware that the document deliberately targets Council partners, prospective partners, the Voluntary (3rd) Sector and Government Officers. It does this to reflect the guidance given by the Department of Culture Media and Sport (DCMS). An executive summary will be produced for the public and will be available from Council offices, libraries and other facilities across the borough. 4 CHAPTER 2: SETTING THE SCENE 2.1 The Big Picture Cultural activity in Tower Hamlets cannot be separated from the wider political and social agendas, which drive national, regional and local policy. Over the past five to ten years, there have been significant changes in central governments approach to policy delivery that has had a direct impact

  • Petticoat Lane Al Fresco –––––––––––––––––––––––– for the Last Four Centuries, P
    Petticoat Lane Al Fresco –––––––––––––––––––––––– For the last four centuries, Petticoat Lane Market formed a sort of membrane between the ‘City of London’ and the ‘East End’. The granite heart of global capitalism on one side of cast iron bollards, the red-brick muscle of Empire’s labourers on the other. Over the last seventy years, however, the gradual closure of the docks and the outsourcing of industry has seen the city’s muscle wither. The City on the other hand – along with its ‘cognitive labour’ – has metastasised through the old inner-East End. You can smell the coffee roasters and sourdough pizzerias chasing the cement and emulsion-paint-fumes up the road, from Whitechapel to Mile End. Like an amoeba phagocytosing a smaller organism, The City has also enveloped Petticoat Lane, cocooned it with towers of glass and wipe-clean cladding, and is slowly digesting it. Over the course of the last fifteen years, the enzymatic action of re-valorised inner-city living has all but entirely broken down the old market, reconstituting greasy spoon cafes, luggage retailers and kinky underwear wholesalers into cocktail bars, gourmet ‘candy’ retailers and Chicago rib joints. The old market has not, however, been fully digested. At least not at the time of writing. For a start, there are still a handful of wholesalers in its vicinity. Peddling imported luminous batiks, patent leather heels, bongs and phone covers, the wholesalers are dependent on customers making the increasingly expensive trip into London’s congestion charge zone. In between the residues of the rag-trade is also Petticoat Lane’s food court; an assemblage of plastic patio chairs, polystyrene containers, a café, a restaurant and between five to eight food trucks.

  • London Exclusives Pop up Events
    QUICK GUIDE TO LONDON FASHION London is a vibrant city teeming with opportunities for creativity. I have my own clothing brand, and so upon arrival to London, getting a hold on what London fashion had to offer was paramount to me. This piece is split into 4 sections. One will focus on the new and exciting brands essential to the character of London fashion. Second, I will turn my attention to pop up events. Third is thrift shops and cheaper options. Lastly, I will discuss what resources are available when it comes to creating your own clothing in London. The British pound is stronger than the US dollar, so some of these places tend to be expensive. I tried to limit this piece to shops that have items for less than $100. However, exploring shops and fashion districts is a great way to feel more local and comfortable in a new area regardless of the price points. London Exclusives There are many stores that are exclusive to London. Take advantage of your time abroad and get some things you can only find here. Even after you leave, you’ll have invaluable items that will always remind you of your time here. Champion, the sweat brand that has collaborated with the likes of BEAMS Japan, Bathing Ape and Urban Outfitters has its own store in London. The only other Champion store you can find is in Amsterdam. Some of the exclusive collaborations can be expensive, but the simpler items like sweatpants and t-shirts sit around $30 or $50. It is located in Soho which is right in central London.

  • The Soup Kitchen for the Jewish Poor the History of London, Dr Ian Stone – Website – Blog – Youtube
    The Soup Kitchen for the Jewish Poor The History of London, Dr Ian Stone – Website – Blog – YouTube Slide 1 – George Duckworth was no stranger to the poverty of Victorian east London. Although educated at Eton and at Trinity College, Cambridge, he had, in 1892, began working with the philanthropist and social reformer, Charles Booth, investigating the living and working conditions of inner London. As he walked round the streets of Spitalfields with Sergeant French of Whitechapel Police, in March 1898, Duckworth found plenty of destitution to record in his notebook. Slide 2 – At the Roman Catholic Convent of Mercy and Providence Night Refuge, on the corner of Artillery Lane and Bell Lane, where now there is student accommodation and several small businesses, he saw thirty men and two women, ‘a set of scoundrels’ according to Sergeant French, queuing at separate entrances for a bed for the night. It was only 1 PM and the doors would not be open for another three hours. Bell Lane was one of the most overcrowded areas in all London. On average, 800 people were crammed into each acre here, compared to about fifty people per acre in London as a whole. Slide 3 – Duckworth noted that Dorset Street, just around the corner, was filled with thieves, prostitutes and dirty, unkempt residents; it was, he thought, the worst street he had seen so far in his perambulation of London. Little Paternoster Row was hardly any better: here, in a street with broken windows, he found ragged women and children wearing toeless boots. Duckworth believed that for vice, it would have been hard to find worse streets anywhere in London and that, on the whole, the people who lived in this area were vicious, semi- criminals.
