Striking ceremonial gates, vibrant red lanterns and 12 predominantly pedestrianised streets create an unmistakable sense of place, where authentic restaurants, specialist supermarkets and independent retailers celebrate the rich diversity of East and South East Asian culture. Bustling from day through to late into the evening, Chinatown's restaurants, cafés, bars and shops, together with colourful festivals including Chinese New Year, attract Londoners, visitors, students and local workers seeking experiences that cannot be found anywhere else in the capital.

Arôme remains one of London’s most sought-after bakeries, and our recent Chinatown London launch reminds us that we boast a dedicated customer base that loves what we do. It’s important to us that we operate from the best locations, and there is no question that we have launched in the prime place for meaningful brand expansion.
Four years ago we made our UK debut, and what an incredible journey it’s been since. In that short time, we’ve grown to near 20 stores across the UK and over 40 across Europe, building an amazing community of dedicated customers along the way. With our new Charing Cross location marking our biggest store in the West End, we’re so proud to see how far we’ve come, and we’re so excited to welcome even more of our loyal customers to this destination than ever before!
Chinatown is always a good idea. Whether you’re looking for a feast, a quick bowl of noodles before heading to the theatre, or want to explore the area’s buzzing street food scene, there’s always something new to discover.
