Show transcript
‘London is the Place for Me’ was written by Aldwyn ‘Lord Kitchener’ Roberts in 1948.
To better understand the song and its lyrics, we can explore the context in which it was written.
Roberts migrated to the UK aboard the Empire Windrush; his arrival coincided with a period of significant change.
The first two stanzas were sung by Lord Kitchener at the Tilsbury docks, on board the HMT Empire Windrush.
Roberts’ experiences were not the same for all people who migrated from the Caribbean.
