Did you know London’s original Chinatown wasn’t located in its current spot next to Soho, but was actually a bit further east in Limehouse? Celebrate the Lunar New Year a stone’s throw from Chinatown's roots at the London Museum Docklands, who’ll be running a free festival on the first weekend of February that’s suitable for all the family. You’ll be able to immerse yourself in Chinese folktales, try your hand at crafts and workshops, and sit back and marvel at the dragon dance. The full programme will be released soon – note that while the event is free entry, booking is required.
