The two main shopping centres will become a state-of-the-art Westfield, a £1.4bn redevelopment at the epicentre of the Croydon regeneration programme.

As well as major retail anchors there will be over 300 shops, cafés, restaurants, cinema and new apartments creating a dynamic blend of fashion, leisure and living.

As well as the existing bustling High street Ruskin Square adjacent to East Croydon station will be a 100,000 sq ft destination of shops and restaurants adding to the work life balance in Croydon.
