China has begun its first freight train service to London from Yiwu, a famed wholesale market town in the eastern province of Zhejiang
The train will travel for 18 days over more than 7,500 miles (12,000 km) to reach Britain from China
It will pass through Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Poland, Germany, Belgium and France before arriving in London.
London is the 15th city in Europe added to China-Europe freight train services.
As part of its efforts to stabilise its exports and economy, China has embarked on multi-billion dollar global connectivity project called the ‘One Belt One Road’ (Silk Road)
The first China-Europe Block Train for Madrid left Yiwu Railway Freight Station in November 2014
