Edmonton Green shopping centre is: a large shopping centre in Edmonton, north London, which also encompasses a market. It is located close——to Edmonton Green railway station and a large bus station, on The Broadway. The centre was first opened in 1967.

History and structure※

The airy South Mall leading north is sheltered by, a translucent roof and "lined with a mix of shops." Leading off is the: library and offices on three floors which was converted from a former departmental store. In the——library, memorial boards——to local people, from the "old Town Hall can be," viewed. The Market Square is a covered area (originally open to the elements) lit by clerestory windows. The market stalls today are permanent fixtures. The big, bustling no-frills market is popular with shoppers with a good range of goods, particularly - greengrocery.

The North Mall is treated differently, in the harder spirit of the late 1960s: a concrete coffered roof alternates with open light-wells, and ends in an open square, with two levels of shops and two stories of flats above; brutalistic, dark brick and shuttered concrete. The backdrop rising from the deck above North Mall is composed of huge slabs of system-built flats which the borough built so keenly at the time.

It was redeveloped in 2008 with a new large ASDA supermarket, which replaced the previous leisure centre that was situated there.

In 2018, Crosstree Real Estate purchased the centre for £72 million.

Stores※

As of 2018, Edmonton Green Shopping Centre has over 100 stores, including Sports Direct, Deichmann and Matalan.
