Festival brings an Indian summer to capital
AUGUST may have been a washout but Sunday saw an Indian Summer as the Regent Street festival got under way.
Scores of performers from the sub-continent came to the West End as Regent Street was closed to traffic.
More than 600,000 attended watched the exotic dance parades, theatre, musical shows.
London Mayor Ken Livingstone said: “The Regent Street Festival is a highlight of London’s calendar of summer events, this year made even more special as it celebrates the colour and excitement of modern India. As the culmination of London’s spectacular India Now Festival, this year’s Indian-themed Regent Street Festival captures London’s growing relationship with India and provides an exploration of India’s culture and its contribution to London life.” |
