I have long been fascinated by people born abroad who end up settling in London. The why, when and how are the questions asked and answered in this project, and this collection isn’t about the transient – those here for work or studies – but about people who learn a new language and embrace a new culture. In my family it’s a big thing to leave your home town, but that jump both allows and encourages us to grow, and what I’ve noticed about those born abroad is just how much they bring to the party.
