A new plaque will be unveiled to formally mark Kingston’s twinning with Jaffna in Northern Sri Lanka.
Kingston is home to around 12,000 Tamils and Tamil is one of the most widely spoken languages in the borough.
A parade will also take place in New Malden High Street with cultural performances and a speech from the Mayor of Kingston.
January is Tamil Heritage Month.
It is also an extension of the Tamil New Year ‘Thai Pongal’, which is celebrated worldwide.
