Chinatown
London

2018 - Present

Located in Soho, central London, Chinatown is a densely packed microcosm of restaurants, supermarkets, bakeries, and shops. It is so unique that Londoners believe it needs an O’Neil’s and a Betfred to keep them coming back. Thankfully, the residents have resisted the urge to franchise for Whitbread, making it one of London's most appealing street photography locations.
