Made in Chinatown
Our beautiful Made in Chinatown range of products and merchandise has been developed in collaboration with artists who have a connection to London’s Chinatown. The income generated from the sale of our products supports our heritage making activities.
Community Building
We have run several oral history projects, events and festivals celebrating and reflecting upon the unique heritage of London’s Chinatown and the people that comprise it. Our current year-long festival, Looking Back to Look Forward, commemorates 40 years since London’s Chinatown was officially designated.
Get involved!
Would you like to make an impact in London’s Chinatown? Do you love to learn about people and places? Are you a storyteller? Would you like to share your own history of Chinatown with other people? Do you get joy and energy boosts from acts of community service?
We are recruiting new volunteers to train and serve as History Champion guides for our award winning Chinatown walking tour team.
The best school trips in town
Chinatown Collective has started the year with a flurry of school visits and Chinatown walking tours. The trips provide a way for students (and teachers!) to enjoy a morning learning more about the stories of the neighbourhood and then enjoy lunch served family-style at a Chinatown restaurant.
A new participatory performance experiences is coming to Chinatown. In a project conceived by art organisation Kakilang and Chinatown Collective, three artists will lead "In Search of Rice" in Chinatown this March. Tickets are on sale now.
