International Culture

The national cultural institutes and diaspora cultural centres that keep a public door in London, with the libraries, galleries, film programmes and language classes they run, and the international festivals that return to the same ground each year. Much of what they put on is free.

Where those countries' people lived, in the past tense: The World in London

Bolivar Hall

A Venezuelan concert hall in Fitzrovia, four doors from the house where Bolívar was received in 1810.

Film programmeExhibitionsConcertsSpanish

The hall belongs to the Venezuelan embassy and is one of the few rooms in London given over to Latin American music, film and theatre: salsa and jazz concerts, Spanish-language plays, film seasons and exhibitions, often run with the Latin American community in London rather than by the embassy alone.

Number 58, four doors along the same terrace, is where Francisco de Miranda ran the campaign for Spanish-American independence for eight years, and where the young Simón Bolívar was received in 1810. The hall takes its name from him and stands almost on the spot.

The hall has no working website of its own - bolivarhall.co.uk is a parked domain - so dates come from the venue's own listings and from the promoters who hire it.
