London Overground’s Windrush line commemorates the contribution of the Windrush generation to rebuilding our great city after the Second World War. For Windrush Day, we look back at the importance of the moment it was renamed for Londoners connected to Windrush.

78 years ago Empire Windrush arrived at Tilbury Docks. It’s a story of humanity, courage, disappointment and hope. I was proud to host the Windrush generation recently in Number 10. Their voices have already changed Britain and will continue to shape it for years to come.
