Chinese New Year 2023 in London

Want to know where you can celebrate Chinese New Year 2023 in London? We’ve put together a few of our top picks throughout the capital to help you make the most of this celebration. 

We’re officially counting down the days until we can all celebrate Chinese New Year together. 

Did you know that Chinese New Year is also known as the Lunar New Year, Spring FestivalTet and Seollal? It’s also the start of the new lunisolar calendar, which means it’s a great opportunity to start afresh, with a new positive perspective. Every year the Chinese New Year represents 1 out of 12 zodiac animals and 2023 will see in the Year of the Rabbit.

According to Chinese astrologers, those born in the year of the rabbit are believed to be vigilant, witty, quick-minded, and ingenious. The sign of the Rabbit is also a symbol of longevity, peace, and prosperity in Chinese culture. Therefore, 2023 is predicted to be a year of hope.
