EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in February 1973, presents an aerial view of Newport Place car park in London's Chinatown-Soho district, during the Chinese New Year celebrations. The vibrant scene is filled with a sea of people, forming a dense crowd that stretches out towards the edges of the frame. The air is thick with excitement as spectators eagerly watch the mesmerizing display of a dragon dance unfold before them. The Chinese New Year festivities in Chinatown-Soho were a much-anticipated event in the 1970s, drawing in large crowds from all corners of the city. The streets would come alive with the sounds of drums, cymbals, and the joyful laughter of children. The air would be filled with the aroma of traditional Chinese delicacies, as vendors sold steaming dumplings, crispy spring rolls, and sweet rice cakes. This photograph, taken by Robert Stallard for The Museum of Soho, captures the essence of the Chinese New Year celebrations in London during the 1970s. The dragon dance, an integral part of the festivities, symbolizes the arrival of good fortune and prosperity for the coming year. The photograph not only showcases the rich cultural heritage of the Chinese community in London but also highlights the unity and joy that such celebrations bring to the diverse population of the city.
