Abstract

Chinatown is one of London’s most visited tourist destinations. Situated in the heart of the city, it is an essential part of London’s presentation as a multicultural city, and central to government strategies for expanding political and economic ties with China. But what does Chinatown represent to the thousands of Chinese people in London?
