xianhua Posted October 27, 2009 at 05:49 PM Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 at 05:49 PM (edited) Good news for Chinese Learners in the South of England I'm heading down there in November for some Christmas shopping, so I may pop in and take a look.

Meng Lelan Posted October 27, 2009 at 08:03 PM Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 at 08:03 PM You lucky you, a Xinhua bookshop near you soon. Can you go ask them to set up a new Xinhua bookshop here in Texas? Houston maybe? Please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xianhua Posted October 27, 2009 at 08:38 PM Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 at 08:38 PM Do you have an address for it? Sorry, I haven't got an address. The only articles on the web seem to come from the Chinese press, so wouldn't give that level of detail. I was assuming it would be around Chinatown/Gerrard Street, but could be wrong.

JohnB Posted October 27, 2009 at 09:36 PM Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 at 09:36 PM Well, to answer my own question, after some searching I found this posting which seems to give the address : 补充一下地址：Unit 4, 55/57 Park Royal Road, London NW10 7LR 听说这里离任一地铁站都很远，在 middlesex hospital 那里，那人还说有车的开车去，没车的就跋涉吧。 It's from this website which contains a few more postings with comments about the location.

xianhua Posted October 27, 2009 at 10:15 PM Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 at 10:15 PM Well found JohnB! There go my plans for popping in after a stroll down Oxford Street. 为什么选在那么远的地方? As one of the posters asks, why choose such a distant location? Maybe they saw the rental prices in central London and ran a mile (or 26).

adrianlondon Posted October 28, 2009 at 10:32 AM Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 at 10:32 AM What a strange place to put the bookshop. If I remember correctly, it's in the middle of an industrial estate surrounded by car showrooms and wholesalers like Makro. Oh, and opposite the hospital. Cleverly situated nowhere near a tube station, it must be a front for something else ;) The news of the opening said it'll also be involved in the "copyright trade", whatever that is. I guess they're going to use it mainly as an import/export base for books/magazines etc and distribute from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
