Chinatown, London
London's Chinatown is in Soho. Originally Chinatown was in the East End of London but moved West due to the prosperity of the Chinese and the popularity of Chinese food and culture.
The previous Chinatown in the Limehouse region of London was known more for its opium dens (which were legal) and its slum housing, which is normally associated with immigrants in a town by a man being shot dead in broad daylight in June 2003 in the "brb bar" on Gerrard Street.
