Oriental City was a shopping centre in Colindale, London specialising in various oriental foods and items. It is located on Edgware Road, and the nearest London Underground station is Colindale tube station. It had a dedicated car park, and 2 floors. It is next door to Asda. The complex was closed for redevelopment on 1 June 2008, but no demolition or building work has yet taken place. An application for planning extension is currently being considered by the local authority, Brent Council. Between December 2009 and April 2011, a complex similar to Oriental City traded in Wembley Retail Park, called Pacific Plaza.

Famous quotes containing the words oriental and/or city:

    The Oriental philosophy approaches easily loftier themes than the modern aspires to; and no wonder if it sometimes prattle about them. It only assigns their due rank respectively to Action and Contemplation, or rather does full justice to the latter. Western philosophers have not conceived of the significance of Contemplation in their sense.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The city is loveliest when the sweet death racket begins. Her own life lived in defiance of nature, her electricity, her frigidaires, her soundproof walls, the glint of lacquered nails, the plumes that wave across the corrugated sky. Here in the coffin depths grow the everlasting flowers sent by telegraph.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)
