| Old Limehouse to Chinatown at Museum of London Docklands
Aided by vintage photographs and his personal experiences, Brian Grover leads a tour through the streets of Limehouse, site of London's first Chinatown. Chinese sailors began to settle here in the 1880s and soon bestowed a distinctive character on the area.
