Laura Flanagan, director of the Greenwich Peninsula, said: “The transformation of the Greenwich Peninsula since 2015 is extraordinary, and the evolution of the urban village party is just an example of how much the place has changed in a decade.
“What began as an eclectic community sounds in a new piece of city, has become one of London’s most beloved festivals.
“Celebrating ten years of the Urban Village party is a significant milestone for the Greenwich Peninsula, which gives us the opportunity to give life to the best things about living, working and visiting here in an incredible day.”
DJ Gilles Peterson said: “Game at the first party of Urban Village in 2015 and has an incredible bone to see the event grow and meet in the last 10 years.
“It is a neighborhood that returns to the community and that is something special.
“You do not find many other events that represent a true democratization of art, something we need now more than ever.”
The BBC presenter Radio London, Robert Elms, said: “Ten years ago, this part of London was little more than the O2.
“But since then, Urban Village’s party has helped promote a genuine creative quarter where people can spend a great day while enjoying art, architecture and design.
“Meeting to discuss issues that cause in the middle of a fun festival is one of the things that makes the urban village party unique.”
Wayne Hemingway from Hemingwaydesign said: “Hemingwaydesign is proud to heal and contribute to such a successful free event in the last ten years.
“Urban Village Fete returns a lot: you don’t have to spend a penny and yet you can experience something really special.
“It is stimulating to see the vital support that Urban Village Fete offers creatives, designers, artists and small businesses.
“It leads to our team an incredible joy to create something significant for the community, joining people for an unforgettable day in the heart of the city.”
