The borough of Lewisham in South East London has won the Borough of Culture status for next year and there are a load of reasons why.
The borough, which is made up of places like Forest Hill, Brockley, New Cross, Catford and Lewisham itself, boasts some amazing cultural features, from museums to an eclectic music scene to some incredible independent cinemas.
The borough will receive the title in 2021 along with £1.35m in prize money to make some exciting changes.
In Lewisham's bid it promised to "inspire local people to take action on climate change".

The Rivoli Ballroom is a grade II listed building and is one of the last ballrooms left in the country.
Some Strictly Come Dancing episodes have been filmed there.

There was a big street battle in Lewisham back in the 1970s.
The year 1977 saw 500 people from far-right part the National Front try to march from New Cross to Lewisham itself but around 4,000 people against the party started demonstrations, causing clashes between them and NF members as well as the police.
