Leicester Square is one of several places in the West End that puts on events relating to the Chinese New Year.
The celebrations are organised by the London Chinatown Chinese Association and held on the first Sunday during the new year period.
Events include music, acrobatics and dancing.
In 2015, the celebrations attracted more than 1,000 participants, becoming the largest of their kind in the UK.
 These included lion dances, a show of the Cultures of China and a drum show.
 A parade ran nearby through Charing Cross Road and Shaftesbury Avenue.

The School of English operated on Leicester Square from 1992 until its closure in 2015.
It taught over 25,000 students during its years of operation.

The world's largest Lego store opened on 3, Swiss Court, Leicester Square in November 2016.
The opening was marked by unveiling a 6-metre (20 ft) high model of Big Ben made out of 200,000 Lego bricks.
