Hiking

If you fancy (almost) authentic Chinese food, this is the place for you. Many Chinese restaurants and shops - overall not too European.

As in almost all major cities, so you can find a Chinatown in London.
Located in the Soho district near Leicester Square, it is a popular London attraction. Here you will find countless Chinese restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets, souvenir shops and other Chinese companies.

London's original China Town was located in Limehouse. It had a very bad reputation, not least because of the press writing scandalous articles. The area was badly damaged in the Blitz and people moved to other areas after the war. The development of Soho China Town started in the 1970s.
