Croydon, South London, where the borough’s position as the largest commercial centre south of the Thames and its catchment of 380,000 residents drawn from the Croydon, Sutton, and Tandridge household give Centrale Shopping Centre at North End the primary enclosed regional shopping centre identity in the South London retail corridor. Zara, Mango, Hobbs, Whistles, Phase Eight, and Hawes and Curtis Croydon Outlet give the property a premium-to-accessible women’s fashion and British heritage menswear outlet floor whose brand co-tenancy signals the Croydon professional and aspirational household’s purchasing quality expectations. Vue Cinema Croydon anchors the entertainment and leisure occasion. Superdrug, Benefit, Estee Lauder, MAC Cosmetics, and Origins give the property a prestige-to-accessible beauty floor. H&M, Next, Primark, Clarks, and Shoezone cover the accessible fashion and footwear floor.
Foot Locker, JD Sports, and Sports Direct serve the athletic and sports merchandise categories. Lidl serves the hard discount grocery category. Costa Coffee and Krispy Kreme serve the café and specialty food-to-go floor. Bulgaria Favorite Food Store gives the property a Bulgarian and Eastern European community food identity for Croydon’s significant Eastern European resident population. Warren James, Albone Jewellers, and James Jewellery serve the fine and independent jewelry floor. Three and Vodafone serve the UK telecom categories. GAME serves the video gaming category. Cash Converters gives the property a community value services identity.
The property’s commercial role in South London is the Croydon North End regional shopping centre: a Zara-Hawes and Curtis comparison-shopping fashion anchor whose Mango-Hobbs-Whistles premium women’s floor, Vue Cinema entertainment identity, and Croydon South London catchment serve the Croydon and south Greater London household as the primary comparison-shopping retail destination in the South London commercial corridor south of the Thames.
