Chinatown is the name of an area（地區(qū)）in the middle of London.It is a large Chinese Community（社區(qū)） with a lot of Chinese restaurants，Chinese supermarkets and shops.
In the 1950s，it was a poor area and everything was very cheap.At the same time，the world rice Market became bad and thousands of farm workers in Hong Kong lost their jobs.They began going to London to look for work.They found jobs in the restaurants in this area.
These restaurant workers often worked 17 hours a day and had no time to learn English.As more Chinese arrived，more shops and businesses grew up.Women came to join their husbands and children came to join their fajye.airs.The community grew，and Chinatown was born.

Now everyone knows about London's Chinatown.During the Chinese New Year，the streets are seen with flags and thousands of Chinese go into the streets.For most time of the year，though，Londoners and tourists go there mainly for the food in the Chinese restaurants.The best restaurants are the ones where the Chinese eat.
