Oriental City
London Borough of Brent, United Kingdom
Oriental City was a shopping centre at 399 Edgware Road in Colindale, North London, England. Yaohan Plaza played a short but significant role in promoting Japanese cuisine and culture in London. Later, as Oriental City, it was referred to as London's "real Chinatown". Yaohan opened it in 1993, as a luxury Japanese shopping centre. After Yaohan's bankruptcy in 1997, it became a lower-end mall offering foods, other goods and services to the East Asian community. The complex closed in 2008 and was demolished in 2014 to make way for a Morrisons supermarket. In 2017, the smaller Bang Bang Oriental Food Hall opened on part of the site.
