Our Neighbourhood
Leiden noord - north/east Leiden area
In this suburb called Leiden noord most housing is cheap and from the 1950's. 90% on the inhabitants here were not born in the Netherlands or are desecendents from those not in this country. Since 2001 there's been an annual multicultural festival celebrating the cultural diversity of our neighbourhood.
