Are you 16-25 and based in London?

We are interested in understanding the role of food and drink places as hubs of community and nourishment.

We are providing three micro-grants for young people with ideas to collect objects and stories around food and drink culture in London.

We have three small grants of £1,000 each for young people with ideas to document their local food spots. This could be the local pub, shisha lounge, chicken shop or a corner shop that is meaningful to its local community.

How will the Museum of London support you?

We will provide training in research, project management, writing a collecting proposal, and support you through the process of documenting your selected food or drink places.

No specialist skills are needed to apply – if you have an important story to tell about London’s food and drink spaces and places, we want to hear from you.
