Chinese Arts Now have developed an interactive phone app (Augmented Chinatown 2.0) that gives you an immersive, augmented reality experience using a mixture of striking visuals, miniature audio dramas, atmospheric music and a guided tour to bring to life the rich, hidden history of London's Chinatown.
If you want to find out how this well-known area has changed over time and how it became the centre of the Chinese community in London, look no further.
This weekend, as part of London Unseen, you can download the app for free, and An-Ting and Donald Shek, the artists who created the app, will be joining members of the public to give special guided tours alongside the app.
You'll be sent details and a code to download the app for free in advance of the tour.
This free app download and guided walk is part of the Mayor of London's Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm's London Unseen programme.
