Thames Town (simplified Chinese: 泰晤士小镇; traditional Chinese: 泰晤士小鎮; pinyin: tài wù shì xiǎo zhèn) is a new town in Songjiang District, about 30 kilometres (19 mi) from central Shanghai. It is named after the River Thames in London, United Kingdom. The architecture is themed according to classic British market town styles. There are cobbled streets, Victorian terraces, corner shops and red telephone boxes.[1][2] High house prices led to few permanent residents moving to the area, causing many of the shops and restaurants closed and the area to become known as a "ghost town".
