Brent Cross Shopping Centre is a shopping centre in Hendon, north London.

History

Brent Cross Shopping Centre was opened in 1976.[2]

On 14 December 1991, four explosive devices were planted by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA). The bombs were discovered and defused before they could be detonated.[3]

On 6 November 2012, six people on three motorbikes entered the shopping centre and smashed in the windows at jewellers Fraser Hart. An estimated £2 million worth of jewellery was stolen.[4]

Future developments

Brent Cross shopping centre is planned to be extended as a part of the Brent Cross Cricklewood regeneration scheme. The John Lewis and Fenwick Department stores will remain in their current location, Marks & Spencer will move to a new location on the extended site, the bus station will be relocated, and new parks, a "living bridge" across the North Circular Road and a cinema are planned, along with new multi-storey car parks (with the existing surface carparks to be used for the shopping centre extension). Outline planning permission was achieved in 2010, and preparatory site clearance started in early 2018. Construction had been expected to start in 2018,[5] but is now delayed until 2019.[6]

Popular culture

The interior of the shopping centre was featured in the 1994 film London by Patrick Keiller.[7] It shows the former large fountain and stained glass on the roof, which were removed in 1996.[8]

The carpark of the shopping centre was used as a filming location for the 1997 James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies.[9]

The shopping centre was also featured in Ken MacLeod's science-fiction novel The Star Fraction. The action takes place in a balkanized UK, in the middle of the 21st century, and the ruins of the shopping centre are used as a local market for the anarchist enclave of Norlonto ('North London Town').[10]
