This shopping centre is a five-ten minute walk from Colindale station on the Northern line.
While many products are available for people who speak Japanese, there are plenty of cool things to buy for those that don't.
One of the most impressive places is the food court. In the very centre of London, this type of food is considered fashionable and served in expensive 'noodle bars.' Here, you can buy it for the price of a normal meal.
I also love the supermarket. You'll be glad to know that everything has a sticker on the back explaining what it is in English. You can even buy Pokemon sweets which come with a random Pokemon keyring, including Pokemon that haven't even been seen in the UK.
My favourite place is the bookshop. Here you can buy untranslated manga (Comic books) for next to nothing, considering how expensive the individual translations are. Also available are Japanese books and compact disks. These are much more expensive, though, as they are imports.
You will also find an arcade featuring one of the best games I have ever played -- Dance Dance Revolution. In this game, you must dance according to the moves shown on screen.
There are many other shops to visit and I highly recommend this shopping centre. The only problem are the prices, which is to be expected, considering that most products are imported.
