## Johnston Arcade, Luanshya: what it is (and why it matters)

Johnston Arcade in Luanshya is best understood as a small commercial/office “arcade” — a building with numbered rooms/units used by local organizations and businesses rather than a sightseeing attraction. Multiple independent listings identify it as a corporate office in Luanshya, Zambia, and place it at the plus code VC9C+4VF. Rated Online

## What’s inside (specific tenants we can confirm)

Because Johnston Arcade is an office-style building, the most reliable “what to do there” info comes from organizations that publish the arcade as their address.

Here are examples that explicitly list Johnston/Johnson’s Arcade in Luanshya:

– SERVE Zambia Foundation lists its office address as Room 9, Johnson’s Arcade, Zaone Avenue, Luanshya, Copperbelt Province, Zambia. Zambia Foundation
– Danny Engineering & Construction Ltd is listed at 4B Johnston Arcade, Zaone Avenue, Luanshya, Zambia in multiple business-directory entries.

What you can safely infer from those listings (without guessing at the full tenant mix): the arcade contains numbered rooms/units (e.g., Room 9, 4B) and hosts a mix of organizations and service businesses. Zambia Foundation

## Local context: why Johnston Arcade exists where it does

Luanshya sits in Zambia’s Copperbelt and is closely linked to the Roan Antelope mine area historically and economically. Britannica
– Encyclopaedia Britannica describes Luanshya as the service centre for the adjacent Roan Antelope mine (and notes its rail connection from Ndola). Britannica
– The Roan Antelope copper mine article documents the mine’s location in Luanshya District, Copperbelt Province, Zambia, and outlines major historical milestones tied to the town’s development.

In practical terms, that “service-centre” role tends to produce exactly the kind of building Johnston Arcade appears to be: a centralized address where admin, NGOs, contractors, and small offices operate. Britannica
