The London Tamil Sangam is one of the oldest Tamil organisations in the UK. It was founded in 1936 by Dr R. K. Shanmugam Chettiar, the first finance minister of independent India, and Mr K.T.K. Thangamani, a veteran Communist leader.
Our Sangam was visited by Gandhiji, the father of the nation in India, when he came to London for the Round Table Conference.
The Sangam was registered in 1960 as a limited company, and later became a registered charity, continuing to serve the Tamil community in London today.
