Historically, the area was home to the first Chinese emigrants in the 18th and 19th centuries, then saw the arrival of Cantonese refugees after the Second World War. Here you'll find Chinese restaurants, supermarkets and gadgets, spread between Wardour Street, Lisle Street and Gerrard Street. Every year, Chinatown celebrates Chinese New Year, which falls between January and February, according to the lunar calendar. Parades, lion dancing, fireworks and food stalls. Not to be missed, these are the biggest celebrations outside Asia!

Chinatown London is not exceptional to see. It is not very big and includes mainly restaurants, but if you are close to Piccadilly Circus or in Soho, as much to make a detour to walk there and why not be tempted by one of the restaurants.

Nous n'avons rien trouvé de spécial dans ce quartier à part des restaurants assez moyens, des salons de massage et des agences de change ou l'on s'est bien fait avoir... A moins de devoir passer par la pour se rendre ailleurs, il n'est pas conseiller de faire affaire dans le coin...

A real chinatown in the city centre of London in the district of Soho. To have been in China on holiday, I was impressed the first time I fell above as it completely reflected what I had seen there. Today I find that the district especially became very touristy and less authentic. Anyway all products are found Chinese and you can eat at the restaurant for very cheap.
