All Roads Lead to London cover

London is a city built on the dreams of many, yet the stories of its migrant workers often remain in the shadows. This collection brings those voices to the forefront, presenting real life stories from African, Asian, Middle Eastern and Latin American migrants currently living in this 'world city'.

The authors write about their work, their families and friends, and the interests and passions that drive them. Spanning global conflicts, experiences of labour and sexual exploitation, political persecution, the hardships of the pandemic, racism and xenophobia, All Roads Lead to London offers an unfiltered look at the struggles and triumphs of life in the UK and the diverse cultures that keep London moving.

Wondering how their lives might change amidst the current political climate, the authors reflect on what's lying ahead in their chosen home. Witness their past, understand their present, and see the future of the city through their eyes.

'This book is so delightfully and remarkably human, it shows the complex and never-ending story of migration, and is a nurturing and joyful read'

-- Sohail Jannesari, author of The Migrant Art of Coping

'This unique collection of personal stories from migrant workers in London brilliantly captures a kaleidoscope of different backgrounds and cultures and often-painful struggles and experiences. The common thread is a determination to overcome, build a better future, and be part of a wider community. It should serve as an inspiration to us all'
