HOW MANY?
There are 120,000 Chinese in London. Chinese people constitute the fourth largest group in London (behind the Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis respectively),
The educational success of the younger, British-born Chinese has brought professional and economic prosperity to the Chinese community and it’s the fastest growing ethnic group in the UK.
WHERE DO THEY LIVE?
It’s the oldest Chinese community in Europe and the Chinese are spread more or less across the entire city but mainly in Barnet, Haringey, Waltham Forest, Hackney, Southwark and Westminster.
London’s first Chinatown sprang up around the East End’s Limehouse district in the 1880s. It remained a vibrant community until the Blitz and a postwar slump in shipping led to its decline. Only a few street names, and a Chinese Sunday School stand as a reminder
HOW TO REACH THEM THROUGH THE SPECTRUM RADIO NETWORK?
The principal language of the London Chinese community is Cantonese. The Chinese from the People's Republic of China tend to speak Mandarin. China Radio International (CRI) comes from Beijing daily and is on Spectrum 558 AM in English from 4pm to 6pm and in Mandarin from 9pm to 11pm. Both services are also available online.
