The centre, which can hold conferences for up to 200 people, is oowned by One Housing Group, a provider of affordable housing, care and support across London and the South East.

 

Her Excellency Ruth Elizabeth Rouse, high commissioner for Grenada, said: “It is a pleasure and a delight for us to host our Grenada House in Camden, home to many who are of Grenadian descent. We look forward to bringing the flavours of Grenada’s spice and rhythms.”
