Chinese Garage, Grade II listed filling station in Beckenham, London Borough of Bromley, United Kingdom.
The Chinese Garage features a distinctive Japanese pagoda architectural design with oriental elements, situated at a strategic roundabout connecting multiple neighborhoods.
Edmund B. Clarke designed this filling station in 1928, during a period when automobile services expanded throughout London's suburban areas.
The building received Grade II listing status for its architectural merit, representing the integration of Eastern design influences in British commercial structures.
The former filling station now houses a Tesco Express convenience store and Majestic Wine shop, maintaining its role as a local service point.
