The question is simple enough to state and hard to answer at any length: what does it mean to be Greek in Britain now.

The Anglo-Hellenic League puts four voices to it across generations — the sociologist Athanasia Chalari, Nick Bouras, the League’s former Vice-Chair Roula Konzotis and its current Council member Ikaros Matsoukas. The framing is deliberately open rather than academic: belonging, home, heritage, and the ordinary things that turn out to carry them.
