#mylocalculture

On Tuesday 11 February 2020 our Guest Editor, Justine Simons OBE, London’s Deputy Mayor for Culture and the Creative Industries announced that Lewisham has been awarded the title of London Borough of Culture for 2021 with Croydon winning the accolade for 2023. Congratulations to all involved!

In Justine's Run-Riot Interview with writer Adam Bloodsworth, she tells us more about the London Borough of Culture scheme; Justine explains how the EU is the biggest market for our creative sector and so 'any deal must not come up short'; and what the Mayor's Culture team are doing to help Londoners make the most of 'culture on your doorstep'.

Of course, being a Run-Riot Interview, we ask Justine to share her personal tips on a thrilling night out and to offer a one-liner about the power of culture. Roll-up, roll-up, read all about it!
