Chinese New Year in London

London's Chinese New Year 2019

Chinese New Year 2019 in London

The West End of London is famous for its colourful characters and vibrant atmosphere, but there’s nothing quite like it when it comes to the Chinese New Year celebrations. Every year, the Chinese New Year attracts crowds of up to 500,000 people who descend upon Chinatown to watch floats, bands, dancers, musicians, look at the famous lanterns and join in the celebrations. Experience Chinatown and surrounding areas such as Trafalgar Square (where the main stage will reside) and Shaftesbury Avenue on this special occasion and watch this area of London transform into a street party for children and adults alike.

In the Chinese calendar, each year represents a different animal from the 12 in the Chinese Zodiac. The 2019 Chinese New Year is the year of the Dog.
