Celebrate the Year of the Rabbit in London, the biggest Chinese New Year celebrations outside Asia. Chinese New Year always falls between late January and mid-February. This year, the Chinese New Year festival in central London, organised by the London Chinatown Chinese Association (LCCA), takes place on 22 January, which is the day of the Chinese New Year. The central London festivities usually take place across the West End, from Shaftesbury Avenue down to Trafalgar Square. There are normally lively activities and foodie treats in Chinatown; family-friendly entertainment in Leicester Square; and while Trafalgar Square usually plays host to the main stage performances, more stages can often be found on Charing Cross Road and Shaftesbury Avenue. The celebrations also usually include the vibrant Chinese New Year parade, featuring colourful floats and the largest gathering of Chinese lions and dragons in Europe. #london #londonwalk #chinesenewyear
