“The Centre is an invaluable space for the local Irish community, a place of belonging, of recognition, where you can find a friend or get a helping hand, celebrate or get some advice; it is a credit to its founders and to the generations who have sustained and developed it.” President of Ireland, Mary McAleese

The London Irish Centre has been a ‘home away for home’ for the city’s Irish community for over fifty years. Established in the 1950s to meet the welfare needs of the huge wave of Irish emigrants arriving in the UK, the Centre continues to provide a wide range of quality services.

Our work covers three key areas – community welfare, culture, and conferencing and banqueting.
