There are an estimated 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers living in London, with most recent arrivals coming from Eastern Europe, North Africa and Kurdistan.

They themselves often have several diferent ethnic identities since their parents and grandparents may come from several different backgrounds, and their friends and partners do also.

Joan Evans was born in Liverpool, England in 1928, but she didn't live there for very long. Her father was a soldier and was sent by the governmentto India. He took all his family with him, and they lived in Calcutta, in a house which the army gave them. Joan liked living in India. She liked the food and the warm weather. As a child, she would go to school in the morning, but in the afternoon, she used to go out riding on her horse.
