But Chinatown isn’t just about food – it’s a hub of cultural excitement and entertainment! Don’t miss the chance to join in the festivities during Chinese New Year, when the streets come alive with vibrant decorations and lively parades. It’s an experience that will leave you with memories to last a lifetime.
So grab your family and dive headfirst into the vibrant tapestry of Chinatown – where every corner reveals a new adventure and every bite tells a delicious story.
Whilst you’re in Chinatown, it’s just a stone’s throw away from Leicester Square and the West End so be sure to have a proper look around.
I love chinatown. Great for a day out in central. The food in amazing and I like to try a new place every time I go. They’ve also got great Chinese supermarkets where I get all sorts of new drinks.
Bonus that it’s right by Leicester Square and Covent Garden so I usually go shopping with friends or just hang out in Hyde Park afterwards.

Combining a trip to Chinatown with a visit to Trafalgar Square and The National Gallery is a no-brainer as they’re right next to each other. For a sweet treat, stop for a fish-shaped ice cream cone at Tsujiri or try a delicious bubble tea at May’s Sweet Bite
