Historical version 8 of Locale Chinatown (view current version)
View all pages in Locale Chinatown
A part of London with lots of South-East Asian restaurants and supermarkets. Good place to buy 10-kilo bags of rice.
The street signs also appear in Chinese, which is very exciting to those of us who know a bit of Chinese writing. Stop us if we are being boring.
A genuine Chinatown, rather than a manufactued one. Worth a visit. Check out the electrical stores for interesting DVD machines. Also a great place to buy gifts, get a haircut, visit a great cheap cafe...
