Chinatown, Gerrard Street

Photo of Chinatowm, Gerrard Street in 1973

Chinatown is an integral part of London’s history: haunt of Boswell and
Reynolds, birthplace of the post office, first site of Ronnie Scott’s, host to
immigrant communities from the Huguenots to the Maltese and now London’s
vibrant Chinese quarter. The bustling Chinese community of restaurants and
businesses has been here since the 1950s; however, the Chinatown story goes
much further back – right across London and all the way to the Far East.

For photo enthusiasts, this image was taken on an old Rolleiflex camera using Kodak Royal-x Pan, ASA 1250.
