Enjoy the Chinese New Year celebrations
Just in case anyone was in doubt about how multicultural London is, February proves the world is living in London.
There are two free events in particular that are perfect for the kids and that welcome everyone to share in their day of culture.
I didn’t hear about this event last year but it must have been a great success as it’s on again this year. On Sunday 7th the Maslenitsa Russian Festival takes place at Potters Field, which is only about 5 minutes from London Bridge.
This next event is much more well known. The Chinese New Year celebrations are huge in London with events taking place around Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square and Chinatown. It all happens on Sunday 21st.
As more events and things to do are announced I’ll post them here and in more detail on the daily blog.
