Making you feel at Home, while abroad.

London is a multi-cultural city, host to 8.5 million people and destination for 17 million visitors a year! More than a third of Londoners are now foreign born coming from more than 270 nationalities and speaking 300 different languages.

London is welcoming, and complex to navigate. It is exciting to arrive, and to live here. A bit daunting too. And some of the laws and customs can leave us perplexed. If not lost.

Babeltown was born from our love for this City. London is exciting and full of opportunities. It is also a difficult city to navigate and understand.

The team are foreign born (well, most of us!). Based on our personal and professional experiences of London, having arrived to live and work in the UK over 10 years ago now, we have come together to bring BabelTown to everybody.

To foreign-born Londoners: we want you to feel at home abroad. As much as we now do feel at home in London, and in the UK. You know, that feel-good home coming sensation when the plane touches down the runway at Stansted?

In your first days and weeks here: Where to get your first job? Your first accommodation? What insurance should you really need? How to get set up here?

But then, once settled in, what are your rights and obligations when you face a challenge with a difficult landlord or unscrupulous employer? How does it work here? Do you know your rights, and obligations?

BabelTown is for British-born Londoners too, of course! London is BabelTown: a place for all, a place vibrant thanks to its diversity. BabelTown will also help long standing Londoners find out about its cultural riches. And benefit from the vast source of information and guidance that we will make available in a way everybody understands.

You are the Babel Tribe! Welcome to BabelTown!
