On Friday 22nd May, we came together to celebrate a truly meaningful moment in our history as we officially renamed our building Haycraft House, honouring the remarkable legacy of our founders, Brita and John Haycraft.
The day felt especially poignant as it would have marked Brita’s 95th birthday, making our celebrations not only a tribute to International House’s past, but also to the vision and warmth that Brita and John brought to everything they created.
Throughout the day, former colleagues, family, and friends shared heartfelt memories and stories, reminding us of the countless lives touched by their passion for education. We also opened a special exhibition from our archives, showcasing materials written by generations of IH teachers, which was a beautiful reflection of the community and spirit they built over the last 60 years.
Today, the Haycraft name now proudly stands on our building, alongside a permanent installation in our reception that tells the inspiring journey Brita and John took to found International House. It is a lasting reminder of the values they instilled and the legacy that continues to shape who we are today.
To everyone who joined us, especially those who have been part of the IH London story across the decades, thank you. Your presence made the day incredibly special, and we are so grateful to have celebrated Brita and John’s legacy together. 💙✨️
