Experience the authentic shops and restaurants of London's Chinatown neighbourhood, and join in special occasions to experience a flavor of Chinese culture in London. Northwest of Leicester Sq yet a world away in atmosphere, this excellent tile-roofed and red-pillared door marks the passageway into Chinatown. Albeit not as large as Chinatowns in other top notch cities – it's just Lisle and Gerrard Sts, truly – London's version is an exuberant quarter with street signs in Chinese script, red lanterns strung up across the streets weaving in the breeze, and restaurants, noodle shops and Asian supermarkets packed in cheek by cheek.
