Alongside London Olympics 2012, there is also going to be a cultural programme, which aims to inspire young people to create a lasting legacy.

The programme promises to bring the arts closer to ordinary people and involves every corner of the UK. With hip-hop workshops, street carnivals and worldwide festivals the programme will cost at least £40m. (December 2008)

Torriano is a 100 year old, popular pub in Kentish Town, London. The owners want to convert part of the pub into flats, while the landlords, a young couple, are fighting a corporation to keep the place, which is their life and also the centre of community life in the area.
