The Colonnades, Croydon

The site is currently owned and operated by Croydon Council who finally completed the purchase in August 2019[1] at a cost of more than £50m.

[2] The Colonnades competes with the nearby Valley Park Retail Area, a main commercial area on Purley Way, but is less busy due to the lack of a notable anchor tenant - Valley Park has IKEA, while the Purley Way Centre has Sainsbury's.

[3] Other original tenants included Gipsy Moth (a family pub which previously also housed a small Wacky Warehouse soft play), the food court which used to house Subway, BBQ Xpress, China Wok and Karahi Cuisine.

[5] McDonald's was previously situated next-door to the Kidspace indoor playground, but closed and reopened in its current space.

[8] Current tenants of the site include Pizza Hut, McDonald's, Premier Inn, Nando's, a Kidspace indoor adventure playground, Oxygen free jumping, and a Nuffield Health & Fitness Centre.
