South Asian Heritage Month
From 18 July – 17 August, South Asian Heritage Month is held across the UK to celebrate and commemorate South Asian history, heritage and culture, and highlight the significant contribution that South Asian communities have made to British life.
In Haringey South Asian heritage can be found all around the borough. The Earliest written records of presence here date from 1801, although South Asians have been settling in Britain for at least four centuries. Find out more on our South Asian Heritage in Haringey page.
