Gerrard Street, Pedestrian street in Chinatown, London, England.

Gerrard Street extends through central London with traditional Chinese lanterns hanging above numerous restaurants and specialty shops along its length.

The street, built between 1677 and 1685, was named after Charles Gerard and transformed from a residential area into a center of Chinese culture after 1950.

Red lanterns, Chinese signs, and traditional decorations mark this street as the center of London's Chinese community, featuring annual celebrations and festivals.

Located near Leicester Square Underground station, this street contains more than 50 restaurants serving regional Chinese dishes from different provinces.

Led Zeppelin performed their first rehearsal in a basement on this street in 1968, marking the beginning of their musical journey.
