Move to Metroland: homes in former RAF aerodrome and Asian food district in north London housing growth zone's £150m regeneration

Recently designated a housing growth zone, Colindale is getting an injection of homes for young Londoners priced out of the centre.
New neighbourhood: 399 NW9 — named for its position in Edgware Road
David Spittles28 November 2017

A new neighbourhood called 399 NW9 is emerging on the site of Oriental City, an erstwhile Asian food and restaurant hub in Colindale, north-west London, that was controversially bulldozed to make way for redevelopment.

The £150 million regeneration project brings 183 homes and a new food hall with 33 outlets, all close to the Northern line Underground station.

Close to the M1, this is where Metro-Land begins. It’s an area of playing fields, parks and avenues of tidy interwar semis that traditionally have been popular with middle-class families whose breadwinner commutes to the City or West End.

Recently designated a housing growth zone by the Mayor of London, Colindale is getting an injection of homes for young Londoners priced out of the centre.
