LondonVerse is a city-wide celebration of poetry spanning all 32 London boroughs and the City of London.

Londoners of all ages are invited to submit poetry and help create a powerful snapshot of the city through words.

You can submit a poem in any language and on any topic you choose.

Need inspiration? The website includes theme prompts to help you get started.

Selected poems will be featured in libraries across your borough and at events throughout the year.

Celebrating the rich, diverse voices of London’s communities in verse.
