Review:

Chinatown is the central hub of London's East Asian community, originally formed in the 1950s following the opening of several of the city's first Chinese restaurants. The lively, bustling neighborhood has evolved today as the central gathering place for the city's annual East Asian activities and festivities, including its Chinese New Year celebrations in January. Visitors can peruse unique Chinese food shops, bakeries, and gift stores such as New Moon Loon and SeeWoo, enjoying authentic delicacies like taiyaki fish-shaped waffles and pineapple buns and browsing for traditional Chinese lanterns and clothing. Delicious restaurants serve up a variety of East Asian fare, ranging from regional Chinese cuisine to Korean, Vietnamese, Taiwanese, and Malaysian favorites. Architectural highlights include the lovely Wardour Street gate, the largest Chinese-style gate in the United Kingdom, constructed in 2016.
