MERMAIDKB · 01/11/2010 14:36

I'm hoping someone can help me locate an indian/hindu group/association in Kingston Upon Thames.

I am bringing up my son to be able to speak greek,baptised him a greek orthodox and will be sending him to greek school from the age of 4 - he will learn to read and write as well as learn traditional dances. Its what I did every saturday from the age of 6 until I completed my O'level Greek at 16.

My husband (around 4) and doesn't have any indian friends (all very english). He also doesn't know when key religious days are or why they happen and doesn't speak hindi/sindhi comfortably. He didn't attend any additional schooling on top of normal English school. I would like to find a group/association in Kingston or Richmond who meet on maybe a monthly basis who have members with similar background and possibly also have classes for children to learn about their culture etc..

Is there any temple around your area? If so just go in and ask they usually have loads of information,pamphlets etc.,

No - the nearest temple is in Hounslow which although is not far - its not local..

Can you not ring them.I am sure there will something locally in London.I dont live in London and dont know anyone in London unfortunately.
I have friends who are Indians where I live - Diwali (their equivalent of christmas is on the 5th of November).

Hi - there is a Greek Cypriot school in Thornton Heath where the children are multi-cultural - it's a lovely school, I hear, but don't know the name of it I'm afraid.

Sorry, just realised you are not looking for a Greek school- [embarrassed]
