I used to visit a food court in Oriental City, a shopping mall for the Oriental communities in North London. The food court had no chains, no brands, just 20+ family owned businesses all doing their thing, turning out their specialities at reasonable prices. They leased space from the mall owners and it was the best, busiest most diverse place I've ever eaten. Even the likes of Borough Market in London hasn't got the breadth this place had. Or the Richmond model, where a restaurant business owns the hall and fills it with their "not quite" concepts with little variation and no competition.
