It was originally called the Arndale Centre when it opened in 1971. The shopping centre was modernised in the early Noughties.

And the one in Wandsworth (where I live) has been confirmed to be among the nine of 13 London locations that will be closed to recoup losses.

In case you're wondering, Southside Wandsworth (formerly Wandsworth Arndale Centre from its opening in 1971 until 2004) was built on the site of Wandsworth Stadium, which was once a greyhound stadium and at the time the largest stadium in South West London, though that record is now held by Plough Lane, which is the home of football team AFC Wimbeldon.
