A significant, if little known, piece of British-Chinese heritage disappeared from the map recently in central London. I had noticed some time back, prior to the pandemic, that there had been rather a lot of major clearance on the junction of Shaftesbury Avenue and Denman Street. Walking across Piccadilly Circus this week i noticed that the entire triangular block bordered by Shaftesbury Avenue, Denman Street and the pedestrianised Glasshouse Street, which runs northwest off Piccadilly Circus has been cleared for a new development. This is part of the general (and sadly ongoing) gutting and destruction of Soho between Shaftesbury Avenue, Charing Cross Road, Regent Street and Oxford Street that has been continuing for some years now causing destruction and heritage loss as far as over Charing Cross Road in Denmark Street (once London’s Little Tokyo).
