CHINATOWN celebrated the Year of the Tiger in style on Sunday, as thousands of revellers descended on the West End to join the party.
Among the attractions: fire-breathing dragons, acrobatic troupes from Shanghai and a feast of food stalls to show off every type of cuisine from the vast nation.
Mr Leslie Ng, President of the London Chinatown Chinese Association said: “Hundreds of thousands of people enjoy London’s Chinese New Year celebrations.
“It’s an opportunity to celebrate and experience Chinese culture, and to see what Chinatown offers – not just during Chinese New Year, but all year round.”
