I´m not surprised they moved; most of the businesses there are Middle Eastern.
I had not been to the Edgware Rd since the 1970s, when a Palestinian friend of mine used to invite me .
When I went to Mandalay in 2015, it felt like I WAS in Palestine.Many shops with signs in Arabic, many women in Bhurkas; I can only say it was surprising!

I lived just off the Edgware Road in 1975, and of course I’ve visited there since. The Middle Eastern bit used to be the south, and it didn’t really cross Church Street heading north until well after Mandalay was established, 444 is well north of Church Street

I used to regularly work in-house for a company in Homer Street, just round the back of Edgware Road station, in the early to mid 90s, so know the area well. It's one of the two main routes into Central London from here, so I still pass through fairly frequently.

It’s Church Street market that Pierre Koffman was singing the praises of in the Guardian last week, so I guess it’s still there
