Southall is set to welcome the launch of Southall Stories, a new public art project bringing together artists, local spaces and creative ideas inspired by the area.

The project features a series of artworks installed across Southall, giving residents and visitors an opportunity to see the neighbourhood from a different perspective and discover some of the creative work taking place locally.

The launch on Thursday 10 September 2026 will include a guided art trail, an exhibition, creative workshops, music and refreshments. The programme begins at Southall Station before moving on to the Dominion Centre & Library.
