History of Chinese London
By the late 19th century, London had two small Chinese communities in the East End. Chinese sailors from Shanghai had settled in Pennyfields in Poplar. In Limehouse Causeway, another group associated with southern China had settled. Virtually all were single men, some of whom married British women.
By 1914, there were around 30 businesses and 300 people living in these small East End communities. Limehouse and Pennyfields became known as 'China town', and many of its inhabitants made a living through running laundries. In 1937, the first Chinese school opened in Pennyfields......
London's modern Chinese community is concentrated in three boroughs: Westminster, Barnet and Southwark; but there is talk of establishing a new Chinese business and cultural quarter in East London as part of the 'Thames Gateway' regeneration.
