History

Ealing Broadway was designed by Keith Scott of Building Design Partnership. The 12 acres (4.9 ha) site cost £60 million to build, [5] and was built on a site that formerly consisted of housing. [6] The development also consisted of office space, a library, a gym, and two sculptures: The Family and The Horse. [5]

It was complemented by a smaller shopping centre adjacent to it, built 1986 at a former 19th century department store called Sayers under the name The Waterglade Centre, and later renamed The Arcadia. [7] The Arcadia was redeveloped in the mid-2010s and replaced by 1-8 Broadway. [8]

The Ealing Broadway Centre was first refurbished in 2002. [4]

The shopping centre has been owned by British Land since 2013 who purchased it from Wereldhave. [9] [10]
