The Chinese embassy in London said on Wednesday that no Chinese citizens had been injured in the riots or suffered property damage.
Lu Xu, counselor and general consul of Consular Section, said that Chinese citizens in the UK should avoid going to the regions where riots have happened.
She also suggested that Chinese citizens stay home at night, call their families in China and contact the embassy or local police in case of an emergency.
Several Chinese travel agencies said the riots had little impact on their business with the UK.
"The traveling hot spots in the UK are not in troubled areas, so our tourism services have not been affected," a marketing employee with China International Travel Service (CITS) surnamed Qu told China Daily.
If the situation gets worse, CITS will cooperate with the embassy to protect tourists, Qu said.
An employee of Beijing Youth Travel Service also said that there had been little impact on their business in the UK.
Cui Haipei in Beijing contributed to this story.
