LONDON'S HOME OF DIM SUM

Dim Sum and Chinatown have long gone hand in hand. Rooted in the Cantonese tradition of gathering over small plates and tea, it's one of Chinatown's most social ways of dining. Tables quickly fill with bamboo steamers and plates to pass around, from delictae har gow & siu mai to fluffy char siu bao and silky cheung fun.

In Chinatown London, watch dumplings being folded by hand, discover recipes and techniques passed down through generations and gather around big tables made for sharing.
