Oriental City is due for closure and redevelopment, but [http://www.dimsum.co.uk/viewpoints/oriental-city-agreement-reached.html will remain open until May 2008]. The search is currently (July 2007) on for temporary premises to house the community while redevelopment takes place.

Large Asian mall in North London, reasonably close to Colindale Station.

As of March 2007, London's mayor, Ken Livingstone, has agreed (PDF) to let Brent Council go ahead with their plans to close Oriental City down for three years to allow for redevelopment. Boo.

Highlights:

  • The food court! Japanese, Chinese (including a dim sum house), Thai, Indian, you name it. Select your favourite dishes from as many stalls as you like, and collect them when your number comes up.
  • Other food places, including a cafe that does bubble tea, and a sushi bar.
  • The Japanese crockery shop.
  • The Japanese supermarket — all kinds of interesting vegetables, sushi-grade fish, meats, noodles, rice, spices, oils, vinegars, exciting things in packets.
  • The durian shop. Located outside the main building, for reasons that will be obvious to anyone who's ever come within smelling distance of durian.
