Narborough Road in Leicester has been named as the most diverse high street in the UK because there are shop keepers from 23 different countries. The picture above shows where in the world the people come from. There are business owners from Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan, Poland, Lithuania, Hong Kong, Canada and many more countries. 11,000 people live in the community.
The business owners say they have a mutual respect for each other. Lloyd Wright who is half English and half Polish and runs a music shop said; "There are people here from all over the world but there is no tension. It's a very relaxed atmosphere. We all seem to rub along fine. There is a mutual respect."
Dr Suzanne Hall from London School of Economics, interviewed many of the shopkeepers and concluded; "It is the world in microcosm. All these people from all these different places, different cultures working together and living in harmony."
