Butiksdöden, vilka butiker lägger ner härnäst?

The London shopping centres that were once a major draw to the city’s suburban high streets are closing at remarkable pace.

Many of the capital’s malls, built between the 1960s and 1990s, now face demolition to make way for thousands of flats and office space in place of stores.

The Lewisham People’s Assembly urged the council to reconsider, with the group stating: “The proposed demolition of Lewisham Shopping Centre for luxury flats is a blueprint for gentrification.

Major plans to redevelop Lewisham Shopping Centre and replace it with more than 1,700 homes have been given the green light.

Developer Landsec Lewisham Limited has been given planning permission for its development at the Lewisham Shopping Centre site, which will see the mall and the multi-storey car park demolished and replaced with tower blocks up to 35 storeys high.
