Visit one of London’s Pergoda

Some parks in London are graced with a Chinese or Japanese Pergoda and they make for the perfect outdoor walk around the time of Chinese New Year. Get outdoors and take a stroll over to our favourites;

Victoria Park Pergoda

Nestled inside Mile End’s Victoria Park is a traditional Chinese Pergola. The Pergoda originally called Hyde Park before being moved to it’s permanent home in Victoria Park. Take in the views of the Pagoda with a back drop of the city on London from one side and a traditional Chinese bridge and lake from the other side.

The Love Peace Pergoda

The Love Peace Pergoda is located in Battersea Park and is a traditional Buddist pergoda. The space in Battersea Park was placed there to bring peace to visitors in the busy city of London.

Kew Garden’s Pergoda

The garden’s in Kew are home to a traditional Japanese Pergoda. The pergoda opens to the public  in the summer months and guests can walk to the top for views over the gardens and also into London. In the winter months and the times close to Chinese New Year you are able to admire the view of the Pergoda from the Kew botanical gardens.

Chinese New Year Parade

Every year London hosts a huge Chinese New Year Parade that parades around the West End. The parade graces the likes of China Town, Leicester Square and surrounding routes to Trafalgar Square. This year is the year of the rat and I am sure huge rats will be parading the streets along side the Chinese dragons and various other animals.

Date: The parade is held on Sunday 26th January 2020
