Commenting on the visit, SXSW London CEO Max Alexander said: 'In the inaugural year of South by South West London we are honoured to welcome His Majesty The King to Shoreditch. The festival is a profound acknowledgment of the strength of the United Kingdom's broad cultural and business landscape, its artists and entrepreneurs and the importance of breaking down the silos that separate those domains.'
