Chinese New Year Celebrations in London
London's large Chinese community welcomes the New Year with a colourful bang. Discover cultural events along the Strand, Charing Cross Road and Shaftesbury Avenue and catch splendid lion dances and performances in Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square.
Commencing at midday in Trafalgar Square, London's Chinese New Year
celebrations are the biggest in the world outside of China, and a
colourful introduction to the most vibrant and jubilant aspects of
Chinese culture.
Events take place throughout the day but as the
sun starts to set, head north to Chinatown to explore the sumptuous food
stalls. Lion dancers perform and the multitude of Chinese restaurants
dotted throughout the area operate on a first-come, first-served basis,
so you don't need to book a table to eat your dim sum.
The
celebrations get bigger and better every year and London provides a
wonderful stage on which to celebrate the cultural wealth of the city's
Chinese community.
