Chinese New Year Celebrations, London

Leicester Square - Chinatown has been the bustling heart of London's Chinese community since the early 1950's. Watch and get involved in the Chinese New Year Celebrations each year during the month of February. Watch the traditional Dragon Dances and fireworks under a profusion of brightly coloured lanterns.

A great time to eat out in Chinatown, but book early to avoid disappointment.
