One of the more colorful and definitely more crowded Chinatowns I have been to. Lots of restaurants, bakeries, little bubble tea shops and gift stores are found in this 6 block area. And most of the streets are devoid of traffic so you have an easier time wandering and checking out the stores and restaurants. Color balloons criss cross the street and the arch is your entry point near the W hotel. Good way to grab a quick bite since it is located near the downtown shopping, SOHO, Trafalgar square, theatre and movie districts. And many of the Hop On buses have a stop nearby.

London weekend trip for daughters birthday, sight seeing and plenty of fun. Husband and I had never been to Chinatown so we decided to go. We all loved it! The atmosphere was epic - never felt like that before. Everyone was happy, felt really safe. The streets look good, smell great. Very very pleased we went there!!

We were walking around central and found Chinatown. It is small but very colorful and entertaining. We ended having a great dinner in one of their restaurants. The food is really authentic and competes with the food of any other Chinatown in the world (eg New York).

Chinatown in London, is a very fun place to visit. I really liked the entrance to the area, adorned with traditional Chinese tiles. As I walked through the neighborhood, I noticed streamers hanging all over, dozens of shops, and restaurants, there is a way different vibe in here and in the rest of London. Great place to find souvenirs at marked down prices, and good authentic Chinese food. Chinatown is located near Picadilly Circus and Leicester Square. Overall if you want to add a different experience, do a little shopping, or craving for Chinese food then this is the place to visit when in London.

Chinatown is a must-visit for all visitors to London. It's part and parcel of the unique experience of visiting the city. Located in the fashionable, restaurant-laden area of SOHO, it's very easy to get to by bus and train. There are tons of options for meals. Some in our party were driven to find recommended establishments for bubble-tea, pastries, baos, roast meats and other Asian foods based on popular tiktok videos. We could instantly tell those food places as the lines were longest there including places like Sakurado, Yunique, Good Friend Chicken, Bun House, Bunsik, Chinatown Bakery and so many others. Everyone has their fave places and bucket list as a young visitor that you can tick and then post to social media. Such is the way it is these days. You can easily spend half a day here if eating and social media if your thing!

We enjoy strolling through China Town when in the Soho vicinity. It’s busy and noisy and vibrant, full of unusual sights and smells. We were pleased to see that the refuse/ street hygiene was much better than on our last visit.

The China Town is located near the theatres and Piccadilly Circus areas. There are many Asian food offerings here like Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean. When we visited we tried a Haidilao near the main gate but would be open to trying more in the area if we got a specific craving for Asian food. There are lots of lanterns and it would probably be very cool to visit during Chinese New Year! Closest metros are Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square.
