The London Tamil Sangam

தமிழனென்று சொல், தலை நிமிர்ந்து நில்!

Welcome to the home page of The London Tamil Sangam, one of the oldest Tamil organisations in UK. The London Tamil Sangam was founded in 1936 by Dr. R. K. Shanmugam Chettiar, the first finance minister of independent India and Mr. K.T.K. Thangamani, a veteran Communist leader. Our Sangam was visited by Gandhiji, the Godfather of India, when he came to London for the Round Table Conference. The sangam was registered in 1960 as a limited company and subsequently became a registered charity organisation.
