Criterion Capital tenant Haidilao Hot Pot celebrates Chinese New Year in Piccadilly Circus

We were delighted to see our wonderful tenant, Haidilao Hot Pot, bring the Lion Dance to life at our iconic Trocadero in Piccadilly Circus as part of the West End’s Chinese New Year celebrations!

Criterion Capital

The Lion Dance (舞狮 – wǔ shī) is a cherished tradition, symbolising good fortune, prosperity, and warding off evil spirits. A key part of the performance is “picking the greens” (採青), where the lion “eats” lettuce before spitting it out to spread wealth and luck to the audience – a vibrant display of culture and community spirit.

At Criterion Capital, we take great pride in curating a diverse and dynamic tenant mix. Haidilao Hot Pot, China’s premier and largest direct-operated hot pot brand, continues to captivate food lovers worldwide, with over 1,700 restaurants across 16 countries!

It’s fantastic to see global brands bringing traditions to life and enriching the experiences of our visitors. Wishing everyone a prosperous and joyful Year of the Snake!
