London’s West End lit up for Ramadan for the first time ever!
West End has been decorated with 30,000 lights to mark the holy month of Ramadan.
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, switched on the lights on Wednesday evening installed at Coventry Street, which links Leicester Square with Piccadilly, featuring illuminated “Happy Ramadan”.
The special Ramadan display has been organised by Aisha Desai, who began the project three years ago.
Tonight we welcome the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan ☪️
I want to thank London’s Muslims, not only for your enormous contribution to our city, but for showcasing London’s caring and compassionate values.
From my family to yours: Ramadan Mubarak. #RamadanMubarak pic.twitter.com/GXXHcMyhe0

As reported, this year in London, an open Iftar – breaking of the fast – will be held at the Victoria and Albert Museum in South Kensington which has also erected a pop-up mosque and Ramadan pavilion for Muslims and non-Muslims.
Chelsea football club will also hold an open Iftar at the side of the pitch at Stamford Bridge, which is going to be a first for the club and a Premier League stadium.
Wembley Stadium will also hold an Iftar later in the month.
