Windrush Day

The HMT Empire Windrush docked at Tilbury Docks on 21 June 1948. This defining moment, now celebrated as Windrush Day.

Lewisham is home to many residents from, and descendants of, the Windrush generation. Following last year's lively celebrations, we're gearing up to mark Windrush Day again. It's time to celebrate their vast contributions to our culture and reflect on the enduring legacy of Windrush.
