Whitgift Centre
Shopping centre in Croydon, England
About
The Whitgift Centre is a large shopping centre in the town centre of Croydon, opening in stages between 1968 and 1970. This centre comprises 1,302,444 sq ft (121,001 m2) of retail space, and was the largest covered shopping development in Greater London until the opening of Westfield London at White City in 2008. The Whitgift Centre has a monthly footfall of 2.08 million. Its complex includes an office development.
The shopping centre has been synonymous with Croydon since its opening. In 2013, Hammerson and the Westfield Group formed a joint venture to redevelop the shopping mall and combine it with neighbouring Centrale. After years of delays, work was expected to begin in 2020, although the future of the project was under review in February 2019 due to concerns over Brexit and structural changes on the high street.
