ℳ𝒶𝓎♍January 19, 2016You have to visit Chinatown, it really demonstrates cosmopolitan London and the diversity of the city. Great to visit on Chinese New Year, or anytime when there's going to be a bit more bustle
Upvoted 3 weeks ago- ℳ𝒶𝓎♍January 19, 2016Set in the heart of Soho near Leicester Square tube station and the hub of the West End.The place to eat authentic Asian food. You will also find chinese herbalists and reflexology massage centres

- ℳ𝒶𝓎♍January 19, 2016Chinatown is culturally different from the rest of London,the Chinese signed street names add to the charm. Not as massive as Chinatown NYC but definitely dont just stumble into the nearest restaurant
For authentic Chinese food; head to Chinatown. Located not far from Leicester Square; the place is so pretty with its lights; and has a wonderful vibe
J KoflerAugust 28, 2018If you can, book a guided tour (we did via AirBnB). 2 hours history, food testing, visits to a book store, the TCM pharmacy. Very interesting background to an amazing part of the city.
Pamela ChowSeptember 15, 2013Try these "egg waffles" (I had it with condensed milk) from a street vendor near the car park. Hong Kong street food at it's best. Crispy, tasty and sweet.
LeanneApril 18, 2015A little overpriced compared to other "Chinatowns" in the UK but worth it for the atmosphere and experience! So many cute little shops too if you spend the time to find them!
Mark LeeksNovember 22, 2012Canton good for a quick lunch bite order stewed flank beef and crispy pork on rice. Its not on the menu just ask. Mix the chilli sauce and soya sauce together. Bit of tea. BOOM the best£6.50
Emese MakfalviSeptember 29, 2014The atmosphere is amazing, full off people day and night. Great place for people watching. Also, don't visit of you are hungry, so much delicious food!
Baby DiverSeptember 22, 2016There's a lot of oriental shops and restaurants. Seek Rasa Sayang restaurant! Very recommended for all ASIAN food lovers
Pauline HJanuary 31, 2013Handful of actually good restaurants here. The best Chinese restaurants are dotted around London, like Bayswater, and in the suburbs.
Carl GriffinDecember 28, 2015Europe's largest Chinatown. Home to many excellent Chinese restaurants and Oriental food stores.
KarenSeptember 23, 2023This Chinatown isn't very large - make your rounds and then find a place to eat. I recommend Gerrard's Corner.
HISTORY UKFebruary 10, 2011Soho is home to Europe’s largest Chinatown, which developed in the 1970s. Earlier generations of London’s Chinese population had centred around the docks of Limehouse.
Mohammed MohannaDecember 13, 2014Very nice, positive vibration in the area, loving how most of the lights are red. However I have to say ducks are disgusting
Eman AbdulazizSeptember 6, 2017Full of Chinese shops and people. Don't miss Chinese food in the area's restaurants!
Ollie BradfordJuly 4, 2013Head to the Kowloon bakery for all sorts of goodies. Try the pandan and coconut cake. It's my favourite.
LMarch 1, 2017Where Chinese people are met, lots of Chinese restaurant, supermarkets and Chinese message
miss_cinnamonMarch 13, 2017A tiny flair of China (and a fusion of all things Asian) in the heart of London
mariadel villaespesaOctober 29, 2012Whatch out 4 the scary cooked ducks on the windows they might make u lose your appetite a little bit... Apart from that ... Go to Irish pub o'neills just in front of china town gates! So much fun!
WinnieNovember 13, 2014Amazing chinatown. Filled mainly with Cantonese speakers from Hong Kong. Comparable to NYC chinatown but much smaller- Loretta OkoyeJune 2, 2014Fours Seasons is highly recommended. Next to Four Seasons is a metal door. There's no sign, but this is The Experimental Cocktail Club
New York HabitatFebruary 29, 2012Looking for a place to eat to take a break from all the shopping? Try London Chinatown Restaurant for some amazing authentic spring rolls.
Ahuv 🇪🇺January 28, 2013The modern "plum valley" is the only decent Chinese restaurant here that I'd come back to after having tried almost all of them
Quentin DavisJune 1, 2015I love the atmosphere and the vibe here! It's a must visit if you are in central London.
Tin AungOctober 31, 2011Four Season is the place for your ultimate roast duck! No other restaurants in UK can compete this place when it comes to roast ducky...
W CJuly 3, 2016Plenty of "western" Chinese restaurants, Asian supermarkets and bakery. Otherwise not much to do, couple of photos of the main entrance. W hotel is only 1 minute away
Big crowd, lovable people and great food! Just need to know where to go exactly.
Zoë Joy RoelantJanuary 3, 2014Visit the "new loon moon chinese supermarkey" they have nice chinese, korean and thai food
Huffy ZFFebruary 21, 2012Must stop over for a dimsum lunch at #Youngcheng's! Their dimsums are superbly delicious!
CoPHNovember 7, 2010Lots of Chinese restaurants along here and around the corner through to Lisle Street, some open after the clubs close too!
Su-May GohDecember 16, 2011Better dim sum at Golden Dragon though you need a min. of 6 dishes for two people. Check out the fried turnip cake.
