China Town. Carnaby Street. 26, Dean Street (Karl Marx). 20, Frith Street (W.A.Mozart)

China Town

The name Chinatown has been used at different times to describe different places in London. The present Chinatown is in the Soho area of the City of Westminster, occupying the area in and around Gerrard Street. It contains a number of Chinese restaurants, bakeries, supermarkets, souvenir shops, and other Chinese-run businesses.


Carnaby Street

Carnaby Street is a pedestrianised shopping street in London, United Kingdom, located in the Soho district, near Oxford Street and Regent Street. It is home to numerous fashion and lifestyle retailers, including a large number of independent fashion boutiques. Its name comes from the Karnaby House, a big building built in this street in 1683.


26, Dean Street (Karl Marx)

Dean Street is a street in Soho in London running between Oxford Street to the north and Shaftesbury Avenue to the south. The street has a rich history — in 1764 a Mozart gave a recital at 21 Dean Street. Karl Marx lived on this street between 1851 and 1856, above what is now the Marco Pierre White restaurant Quo Vadis.

20, Frith Street (W.A.Mozart)

Frith Street is in the Soho area of London, England. To the north is Soho Square and to the south is Shaftesbury Avenue. The street crosses Old Compton Street. The young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart lodged at No. 20 lived here with his father and sister in 1764–65.
