17 Photos of Chinatown London And Lunar New Year Lanterns

This was my first time away from home during Chinese New Year. My brother told me about the huge celebrations in London (the largest celebrations outside of Asia) so here is my experience and some photos of the beautiful Chinatown lanterns.

My experience wasn’t great. As with any large celebration or event in London, it’s overcrowded (as you’ll see in some of the photos below). Just getting from one side of Trafalgar Square, where the main celebrations were happening, was a pain.
