It's a compact and easily walkable district, located between Leicester Square and Shaftesbury Avenue, making it incredibly convenient for exploring central London.

For travellers who love to be in the thick of the action and enjoy easy access to dining and entertainment, staying within Chinatown is ideal. You'll find yourself steps away from world-class theatres in the West End, the vibrant energy of Piccadilly Circus, and the cultural offerings of the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square.
