Chinese New Year celebrations, Trafalgar Square and Chinatown

Join half a million people in Trafalgar Square and Chinatown today to welcome the year of the Rabbit at the London Chinese New Year celebrations.

Sample authentic Chinese cuisine served by restaurants and stalls in Chinatown and also watch acrobatics as part of the Chinese New Year celebrations in Trafalgar Square.

The Chinese New Year day itself was on actually on Thursday 3rd February, but the London parade and dances are happening today (Sunday 6th February). A massive Trafalgar Square event sees traditional Chinese dragon and lion dances with modern music and dance, and a line up of visiting Chinese performers from different provinces throughout China.
