The London Mela in Gunnersbury Park is a wonderful celebration of Asian music and culture which always draws a big crowd of 55,000 visitors with its line-up of British Asian music, Bollywood figures and traditional and classical performances. One of the biggest celebrations of Asian music and culture outside the Indian subcontinent, this year's festival is still in the planning stages but previous years have seen nine different zones, all showcasing different types of music with urban, classical and experimental music, DJs, circus and comedy as well as dance, arts and a children's play area. We're expecting a similar funfair atmosphere this year with music and dance supplemented by hundreds of stalls selling food and handicrafts, all of which makes the London Mela a magnet for a multitude of Londoners out for a good time.About Gunnersbury Park
From formal gardens and green open spaces to lakes and historic buildings, Gunnersbury Park is full of idyllic spots to enjoy nature. Visitors can wander through the tree-lined paths, pop into the museum or get active. As well as buildings and gardens that date from the time when it was a grand estate owned by Princess Amelia and the Rothschilds, there are up-to-date facilities including play areas, rugby and football pitches, tennis courts, a bowling green and a pitch 'n' putt golf course.
