World Routes Academy mentee Hari Sivanesan takes Lucy Duran on a trip around London to discover how the Tamil Sri Lankan diaspora keeps their culture and language alive in the UK. With visits to the Sivan Kovil Temple in Lewisham, one of London's vibrant Tamil Hindu temples and home to a Tamil Language School, they also take a walk down East Ham high street to try and find the best South Indian lunch in town.
