Representing Tower Hamlets' principal cultural traditions - Bengali, Chinese, Cockney, Jewish, Somali and Afro-Caribbean. In collaboration with the Half Moon Theatre, Continuuuum Arts will turn the first floor of the Lotus Chinese Floating Restaurant into an interactive teahouse, with stalls and live performances depicting the story of the London's earliest China Town, based near the docks in Limehouse.
