Last week saw the start of the Lunar New Year, and the ‘Year of the Pig’ and celebrations have begun around the world and much closer to home here in residences – you may have showcased your artistic talents decorating lanterns and fans at Art Night or cooked some delicious dishes at Cooking With Confidence.

To enjoy more of the celebrations head to the Chinese New Year in London festival that will have events and activities across Chinatown, the West End and Trafalgar Square including a parade of dragon and lion dances, stage shows with traditional dance, contemporary hip-hop acts and Chinese performers and a fireworks display to close. There will also be lots of food stalls and restaurants in will have special festive treats on the menu 

Check out Visit London’s guide to the festival or follow the official #CNYLondon hashtag on social media.
