Shopping centre will cease trading on 31 July
The last day of trade at the Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre will be Thursday 30 July, Delancy, the firm behind redevelopment plans, has announced.
News of the centre’s closure comes after a judicial review of the decision to grant planning permission for the redevelopment of the site failed.
The developer, Delancey, is pressing ahead with the winding down of the centre as it prepares to redevelop the sites of the shopping centre and the London College of Communication with nearly 1,000 homes for rent as well as new shops and a new building for the LCC.
A Delancey spokeswoman commented: “We are committed to creating a thriving town centre in Elephant & Castle. We continue to work very closely with independent traders at the existing shopping centre to support businesses’ plans for relocation and this includes the building of the retail space on Castle Square that has now commenced.”
