The Great British Street Party: And the Death of Communal Eating 🇬🇧🍽️

In the build up to the 80th celebration of VE day, we need to take a moment for a true staple of the British community spirit- the street party! Historically, these celebrations truly stood as a symbol of togetherness with long tables, shared sandwiches, mismatched teacups, and the joy of neighbours breaking bread side by side. But the question is: has that spirit gone? In this video, I explore the history of the Great British street party and the fading of communal eating and sharing meals together. From the iconic celebrations of VE Day to the modern barriers of individualism, convenience, and changing social norms, this is both a love letter and a gentle critique of where we are now. 🎉 Whether you're here for the nostalgia, the cultural commentary, or simply to remember a slice of British life that once was — you're in the right place. 🫖 Let’s talk food, community, and the spaces in between.
