Sunday Snap – China Town


It seems love locks like the ones in last week's Sunday Snap have been spotted all over place. Sarah thought they were near the Millennium Bridge, Phoebe and Emily wondered King's Cross, Hannah has seen photographs of love locks in France while Rachel has seen the ones in Paris and Agata has seen a Polish version in Wroclaw. The right answer was given by Rachel, Steve and Claire who knew these love locks were in the achingly hip East London district of

Shoreditch

Last Saturday Mr JibberJabberUK and I spent Valentine's night having a look at London by night. After our stroll up and down both sides of the Thames we headed into China Town. This year's Chinese New Year was in Thursday but today the area around London's China Town plays host to the largest Chinese New Year celebrations outside of Asia. From the China Town streets of Wardour Street and Gerrard Street to Leicester Square, Shaftesbury Avenue and Trafalgar Street there will be parades, dances and musical performances. Since I'm feeling full of New Year spirit this week I'm not going to test you geographical knowledge. This week's question is

2015 is the year of which animal in the Chinese calendar?

  2. It's the year of the sheep :) I love Chinatown and I'd love to go there during Chinese New Year - it must be even more spectacular.

    I've linked up a photo that is a sneak peek of a post coming next week - it's a WW2 bunker on the beach that is being turned into a work of art by covering it in mirror fragments.
