LONDON – THE CITY OF MANY FACES. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MULTICULTURAL PYRAMID OF THE CITY

Abstracts

EN

The aim of the article is to show London as a city of constant multicultural development, co-existence, adaptation and fusion of many cultures, coming from various parts of the world. This amalgam creates a unique atmosphere of the British capital city. The analysis in the article depicts London as a popular cultural destination for tourists, and draws attention to a rapid ethnic, religious and linguistic growth of the city, bearing in mind the retention of an administrative division of the city and cultural specication of its particular districts. e analysis is supported by particular instances of people coming from various cultures, their adaptation to the western multicultural world and acceptance of other cultures living in the area. A west-London borough of Hounslow has become an object of a deeper analysis. An example of a multicultural urban pyramid, it is a place where African, Asian and European cultures develop, marge and co-exist. London appears to be one of the most culturally diversied cities in the world. Even though not every cultural aspect is possible to integrate, the diversity conrms that multi-ethnicity is a valid phenomenon and develops despite challenges and political obstacles. It creates a set of possibilities for the inhabitants of the British capital to live in harmony and respect for other cultures.
