Castellers of London (CoL) is a group of people with an interest in building human towers (castells), a Catalan tradition that dates back more than 200 years, who live in London, England. Many of the people involved in CoL are from Catalonia, but the group also includes people of many nationalities.[1] The goal of CoL is to promote the tradition of castells in the London area by holding open rehearsals and organising special events, such as exhibitions.[2]
In 2015, a group of people experienced in building castells held a series of workshops to promote human towers in London and attract Londoners to attend their rehearsals. They started at Rochester Square Gardens in Camden, moved to Camden Garden, then to Regent's Park and then rehearsed in St Thomas the Apostle church in Arsenal North London. Currently, rehearsals take place in Guy's Hospital Southwark (Wednesday, 7–9 pm) and the Thanet Community Centre (Sunday, 2–5 pm). CoL continues to expand its membership, and currently includes people of different backgrounds and all ages, as well as whole families.[3]
Their debut performance took place during the Youth Fest in Tottenham on 18 July 2015.[4] First pilar of 4 would not happen until 5 September 2015 during the celebration of the Catalan National Day in Kennington Park, Lambeth.
So far CoL are focused on building stable structures six levels tall.
