There is a Chinese community in London. There are 124,250 Chinese people in London, comprising 1.5% of the city's population. 33% of ethnic Chinese people in the United Kingdom reside in London. As of 2000, more recent ethnic Chinese arrivals originated from Mainland China, Taiwan, and Vietnam while historically Chinese had migrated from Hong Kong, including the urbanised areas and the New Territories; Singapore; Malaysia; and elsewhere in southeast Asia.〔Eade, (73 ).〕 ==History== John Eade, the author of ''Placing London: From Imperial Capital to Global City'', stated that a Chinese community representative stated that in the 1780s Chinese sailors visited London, being the first Chinese to visit London.〔 In the latter half of the 1800s the first wave of Chinese immigrants came to London. Chinese lived in Soho by the time World War II occurred.〔 Another wave of Chinese immigration occurred in London during the 1950s and 1960s. The London economy prompted Chinese from many places to move, while changes in international rice markets prompted some Chinese from the New Territories of Hong Kong to move to London. During the same era, many Chinese moved from Whitehall to SoHo.〔 In the 1970s and 1980s many Chinese working in Soho continued to work there but began moving to suburbs. Non-Chinese began replacing the Chinese in Soho in the 1980s.〔Eade, p. 74.〕 As of the late 1980s SoHo remained the centre of the London Chinese community.〔Eade, p. 75.〕 The Chinese were not involved in the development of the Soho LGBT community.〔Eade, John.
