A Slice of home in Shanghai

#urbanexplorer #tripblazers #china I was feeling a little homesick, so we decided to travel to this little-explored place in Songjiang district of Shanghai. Thames town is a tiny replica of and English village, complete with church square, telephone boxes, and pubs! There were loads of couples there taking wedding photos which made the trip even sweeter. We recommend spending time in the bookstore which has a couple of hidden photo spots inside.

Songjiang - THAMES TOWN - Check out

We heard about this place and decided to go check it out. The town is very nice! Lovely little town to just walk around and escape Shanghai! You'll find Thames town on the outskirts of Shanghai in Songjiang District. It takes a while to get there via public transport so be prepared to spend a whole day (From the city about 1 - 1.5 hours by subway). Take line 9 to SongJiang University Town station, and after that a taxi (about 20RMB) another 10 to 15 min journey. Entry is free to the area. You'll find several statues of British people/ characters, such as Shakespeare, Dickens, James Bond and Harry Potter along with rows of shops, homes and restaurants. Doesn’t feel like you are in China or Shanghai at all. On the edge of the town, you'll find a large lake. Many of the shops were closed or empty when I visited, but there were still plenty there, and many restaurants too, ranging from British to Italian to Chinese. The main attraction of visiting is to wander around the streets and enjoying the architecture and buildings, and I also enjoyed watching the Chinese couples having their wedding photos taken. Take your time to walk around. You will feel like you are not in China but at the suburbs of an English town, complete with a square, a Catholic church, bridges over water, quaint coffee shops and bookstores, etc Grainger & Co with stood out to me as a place with decent food/drink choices. Prices are relatively cheap here and not boosted up due to the tourist area. Thames Town was completed in 2006, and it’s part of a government project “One City, Nine Towns” which aimed to build desirable places for citizens to live outside of the city. The aim was to attract people away from the center, thereby reducing congestion and overcrowding. If you want to visit a copied English town and get a taste of a UK town here in Shanghai, come here! Address: No.900 Sanxinbei Road, Songjiang District, Shanghai 201620 #chinalife #interesting #gateaway #2023 #shanghai

Living like in Europe

Approximately 38km south-west of Shanghai downtown the European style Thames Town is located. I saw already a lot of posts from there and was curious about this place. The big church can be seen already from distance and is a good starting point for a walk through the area which can be accessed by public. The location can be found in Baidu with the original English name.

Leisure Cafe, Thames Town

#shinsider After walking around Thames Town for an hour, we dove into a cafe near the lake – Leisure Cafe. This was a cute little cafe with a varied menu of coffee, soft drinks, tea and desserts to indulge in. They have a beautiful space, with a view that looks into the central garden courtyard surrounded by residential housing that surrounds the area. Staff were very friendly, and were quick to deliver the Matcha Late that I ordered (and featured beautiful latte art too!). Find it: Lane 900 Sanxin North Road, Thames Town. 10m from Songjiang Art Museum.

MugHug Cafe, Thames Town

#shinsider After exploring as much of Thames Town as possible, we were starting to get a little peckish and dove into one of the restaurant cafe’s nearby. Unfortunately, no fish and chips were found, but what we did have was still delicious! MugHug Cafe had a decent selection of food to choose from (all in Chinese, so you’ll need to use a translator if you can’t read the characters) although the Western food options were pretty standard (pasta…). But I decided to eat the Beef Bibimbap which was absolutely delicious! It was served in the pot, was sizzling hot when it came out and was nicely spiced with a decent amount of beef (thicker cuts…) and vegetables. Plus the rice had a nice crispy bottom - yum!

Little London in SH

SH has a wide range of places worth seeing, but for me Thames Town has been one of interest for quite some time. The replica British city style is a stark reminder of home and how streets appear. Granted, there’s many more people stood photographing and more wedding shoots than you’d ever expect to see in London. Take Subway line 9 to Songjiang University Town, then Tram 2 or DiDi. #tripblazers #shanghai #urbanexplorer #shinsider

Grainger & Co

#bucketlistreboot Thames Town in Shanghai is fun to explore. There are a few choices for food and drink while you’re here.
