Chinatown, Chinese cultural district in Westminster, England.
The neighborhood extends across several streets including Gerrard Street, Wardour Street, and Lisle Street, featuring Chinese restaurants, bakeries, and supermarkets.
London's original Chinese quarter emerged in Limehouse during the early 1900s, moving to its current Westminster location in the 1970s following World War II damage.
Chinese New Year celebrations transform the streets with red lanterns, traditional dancing performances, food stalls, and decorative dragons throughout the district.
Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus underground stations provide direct access to the neighborhood, which opens daily from morning until late evening.
The 2016 Wardour Street gate, built by Chinese artisans, incorporates Qing dynasty architectural elements with carved stone columns and painted decorations.
