Story

The London Irish Centre (LIC) is the heart of the Irish community in London.

The LIC is both a Registered Charity and an Irish community centre in Camden Square, London NW1.

For sixty years, The LIC has been both supporting Irish people in London and promoting Irish arts and culture.

Our welfare service is the largest for Irish people outside of Ireland. Each year we work with thousands of people to improve their housing, income, access to health, and social inclusion opportunities. This service works to meet the diverse needs of the large Irish community in London.

‘The London Irish Centre embodies what Irish people do best – those that have, helping those that need. I’d encourage everyone to support their work.’ Patrick Kielty, comedian

- In 2013, we helped more than 13,000 welfare clients
- We have over 150 volunteers
- 30,000 people are connected to our online communities
- Over 25,000 people experience Irish and culture with us every year

We also deliver a diverse programme of Irish arts, cultural and community events, which showcase the finest Irish talent to London audiences and offers a taste of home to the city’s Irish community.

Our home (‘The Centre’) in beautiful Camden Square is the oldest and largest Irish Centre in Britain. We also have satellite offices in West Kensington and Kilburn and provide outreach services to a number of other London boroughs.

‘If you’re Irish and live in London, you’d be grateful to the London Irish Centre a hundred times a day for the way they help your fellow Irish people.’ Maeve Binchy
