What used to be the Swiss Centre has been totally demolished and enormous building works are now going on on the site. The work has created a vast, temporary open space allowing sunlight to fill parts of Wardour, Lisle and Leicester Streets that are normally shrouded in dingy shadow.
To see it for yourself, get a lunchtime table at the front of the top floor of Joy King Lau restaurant, Leicester Street. It's the best view to be had in Chinatown right now.

Yes, I saw it was all boarded up today! Chinatown is definitely changing.
Wow, it almost looks like ... every corner of every city in China itself!
Holy cow! What happened to that great Swiss clock? I loved that.
Lee Ho Fook's gone? I remember (just) being taken there by my parents and their work outing when I was little.
