Walking around London is a fun experience. Not knowing what to expect, I was surprised to see the large entryway to Chinatown on Gerrard Street. It reminded me instantly of Washington D.C.’s Friendship Arch. 

The name Chinatown has been used at different times to describe different places in London. The present Chinatown is part of the Soho area of the City of Westminster, occupying the area in and around Gerrard Street. It contains a number of Chinese restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets, souvenir shops, and other Chinese-run businesses. Wikipedia
