Chow down in Chinatown

Right at the heart of the English capital, hidden from plain view behind the concrete maze, Chinatown is a parallel universe of bustling crowds, yelling hawkers and a colourful network of lanes that will transport you outside of the propriety of your surroundings. Bargain for souvenirs, stock up on fresh produce, shop for beautifully crafted lanterns and other little knick-knacks, eat a box of dimsum fresh off the steamer, and cram yourself into one of the hole-in-the-wall establishments serving spicy Chinese altered just slightly for the English palette. Prepare to be surprised.
