Limehouse Causeway was the other major street in which the Chinese community settled. Limehouse Causeway was where the Cantonese born Chinese sailors settled, whereas Pennyfields and Ming Street was where the Shanghai born sailors used to settle. Together, Limehouse Causeway and Pennyfields were referred to by the local white population as the 'Chinese Causeway' irrespective of the sub cultures that are reflected in the cultural geography of these two streets. The infrastructure of this street was changed drastically through slum clearance schemes before the second world war and then in the 1980s. 

At the end of Limehouse Causeway, on Salter Street stands 'The Dragons Gate' a dragon sculpture which commemorates the waves of Chinese migration into the area, from Shanghai, Canton and Hong Kong. The plaque reads: ' Biting each others tails, they embody the power and unity of renewal.'
