Iftar in London: a meal to bring communities together

Last week, the V&A Museum hosted a special Open Iftar, bringing together people of all faiths and backgrounds to mark Ramadan in one of London’s most historic spaces.

Organised by the Ramadan Tent Project, this iftar was part of the Ramadan Festival, which celebrates connection and community during the holy month.

As the call to prayer echoed through the museum, guests broke their fast with dates before gathering for a shared meal. Events like these highlight the diverse traditions that shape Britain today, creating space for understanding and reflection.
