Revival: London 1989-1993
Revealing portraits of one of the capital’s most multicultural boroughs
Revival: London [Roy Mehta]

FOR many, the most remarkable thing about the London Borough of Brent is that it’s the home of Wembley stadium and the Hindu temple in Neasden.

Even more remarkable is the borough’s great ethnic diversity, with its population drawn from all corners of the globe.

Notable among them are the large Afro-Caribbean and Irish communities who, since settling in the area, have made significant contributions to local manufacturing and health and social services as well as its cultural life.
