China Town & Blackfriars

China Town and Blackfriars, (the former is mainly on Stowell Street), are in the west of the City on the edge of Grainger Town.

Surrounding this district on the north side are most of the remaining City Walls which are referred to as the West Walls.

This is a relatively small neighbourhood compared with the others and can be easily explored in a couple of hours although if you choose to visit the recommended museums this will take at least a full day: see Blackfriars & Chinatown In-a-Day.
