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:
“Europe has always owed to oriental genius its divine impulses. What these holy bards said, all sane men found agreeable and true.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“How soon country people forget. When they fall in love with a city it is forever, and it is like forever. As though there never was a time when they didn’t love it. The minute they arrive at the train station or get off the ferry and glimpse the wide streets and the wasteful lamps lighting them, they know they are born for it. There, in a city, they are not so much new as themselves: their stronger, riskier selves.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
