Leicester Square and Chinatown

As you walk further east from Piccadilly Circus, you will find Leicester Square. Originally laid out in 1670 south to the contemporary Leicester House, this square is filled with cinemas, theatres and restaurants. In the winter time, they host a small amusement park right in the middle of the square. You will also find London’s bustling Chinatown in and around Gerrard Street, which is full of Asian restaurants and bakeries.
