This small town called China Town, it is located in the heart of London, not far from the famous Soho area. Usually the average tourist, having accidentally got to London's Chinatown, have a long thinking: why is right down in the center of the British capital this tiny area exist, which seems to have mixed together two countries - England and China, and why China? Originally it was part of Soho, a cheap and dysfunctional area of London in the past, in which a variety of poor people settled from time to time. Similarly, the Chinese came here: Hong Kong was a British colony, and when the region began unrest, as well as in 1941 - was the war with Japan, a huge number of Chinese immigrants left it and settled in London.
