1 Indian London

2 Indian people have made many remarkable contributions to the various aspects of London life. Today Indian descendents live right across the capital. They can be seen in areas like Brent, Ealing, Hounslow, Newham, Southall and parts of the East End. According to the 2001 census, just under 440,000 Londoners are Indian or of Indian descent, representing the capitals largest minority ethnic group. Indian people have made their mark on many aspects of London life, participating in all levels of politics, business, medicine, law and culture.

3 Indian Food Indian cuisine is so popular in England that Chicken Tikka Masala has been considered as Britain's national dish. Indian food at Indian restaurants in London tends to be a representation of the curries you would eat in India. Indian food fans should head to Brick Lane, also known as the Curry Mile. There isn't a high street in the entire city (or country) which doesn't have at least one 'Indian' restaurant on it.

11 Indian Neighbourhoods

12 Bustling with people who come here to buy everything from glittery fabrics to make bespoke salwar kameez to 24-carat gold jewellery to wear at Indian weddings, Green Street is almost like being in India. Dozens and dozens of food shops, sari shops, restaurants and cafes line the long, snaking street, and unlike other Indian neighbourhoods, the crowd is a real mixture of Muslims, Bangladeshis, Gujaratis, Punjabis, Sikhs, the local African-Caribbean community, and tourists from abroad. What's more, everything is very cheap.

13 Home to the capital's Punjabi, Sikh and Sindhi communities, Southall is as loud, bold, colourful and extroverted as a Bollywood movie. The main reason to visit the area is to eat in one of the many north Indian cafes that sell delicious samosas, curries and naans. Do try Southall's 2 signature dishes: naan kebabs (meaty kebabs wrapped in hot, freshly made naan breads with pickles and relishes), and makki di roti aur sarson ka saag (cornmeal flatbreads with mustard leaf curry) – rustic, home-style Punjabi dishes that are widely available in the area, and rarely found elsewhere in London.

22 In recent times Indian culture has made an impact on the British entertainment industry.
