From 29 June to 8 July, London will be singing! In theatres, cafes, museums, public piazzas, shops, libraries, schools, and even swimming baths!

‘Sing London’ is a new festival to unite the city in song: all kinds of people singing all kinds of music, in all kinds of places.

A specially decorated Routemaster bus, provided by Arriva from its Heritage Fleet, was star of the show for the ‘Sing London’ promotional film.

The promo shows a bus full of passengers being brought together in song by an enthusiastic bus conductor who wants them to learn the Calypso song ‘Day’.

The video, and more information on the campaign, is available on Sing London’s website and will feature on TV, the internet and in independent cinemas.

The festival is delivered in association with the Mayor of London and BBC London and brings together over 100 events to get the city singing.

Sing London say there will be something for everyone: from the Science of Singing (the Science Museum), Sing Freedom Songs (British Museum), Masterclasses with Fame Academy Coaches (Roundhouse), Sing Jazz (the Jazz Cafe) and Songs of London (Museum of London).
