- Tamil school students: Due to Coronavirus there will be NO Tamil school from today (15th March 2020) until further notice. Please see below for further details.
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.
