In 2026, ComplitalyTV embarked on a thrilling journey that brought together Italian tradition, London’s community, and a generous spirit. In the attempt to set the Guinness World Record for the World’s Longest Tiramisù, Esharelife was delighted to collaborate with ComplitalyTV on this historic endeavour, which marked a special moment for Italians in London. On this page, you can find out more about this project and the events that led up to the final attempt.
On 26 April 2026, the Esharelife team attended the record-breaking event at Chelsea Old Town Hall to support the initiative and share Esharelife’s mission with guests in attendance. The event was a vibrant celebration of Italian culinary excellence, with over 100 chefs coming together to assemble 440.58 metres of tiramisù and distribute it to eager Londoners. This surpassed the previous record of 273 metres.
100% of the proceeds from the sale of the tiramisù were donated to Esharelife to support its charitable projects, including food bank initiatives across London.
The achievement was made possible through the unwavering commitment and dedication of everyone involved, and it stands as a testament to the strength found in unity. In this context, we are reminded of the significance of tiramisù itself: loosely translated as “pick me up”, this iconic dessert symbolises how culture and charity, when brought together, can uplift and inspire.
Esharelife is immensely grateful to have been part of this historic event, which will help us continue supporting communities in need. In particular, this project aimed to support food banks across London, where we know demand remains high. It is humbling to be part of such iconic moments that reach international audiences, and we look forward to what the future holds.
