Chinatown
Chinatown is unique in its concentration of restaurants and central location, close to Piccadilly Circus between the theatres and cinemas on Shaftesbury Avenue and Leicester Square. The area is noted for its high visitor numbers and long trading hours, with many restaurants open seven days a week and through the night.
At 30 September 2009, the Groups's holdings in Chinatown comparised 61 restaurants, 60 shops, 46,000 sq ft of offices and 85 apartments and were valued at £319.5 million and represented 26% of the portfolio.
Many ancillary businesses, such as lawyers, accountants, health and fashion are located in the area to service the needs of the local community.
Shaftesbury is encouraging ever greater diversity in the range of food available in the area, and is working with local businesses and Westminster City Council to invest in the local environment to enhance the area’s long – established appeal.
