As of 2018, the British real estate investment trust Intu boasts the largest shopping centers in the United Kingdom, and the group’s Metrocentre in Gateshead in the North East of England has the largest retail area, as displayed in this statistic. Despite its status as the biggest, Metrocentre is not Intu’s most valuable venture. Intu Trafford Centre in Manchester is currently the group’s most successful shopping center in terms of market value.
Intu and Westfield at the helm
Intu’s lead in the UK shopping center sector is closely followed by Westfield, whose Stratford City ranks in third place. Together with its flagship London shopping center in Shepherd’s Bush, Westfield Stratford City attracts millions of visitors annually.
Europe and its shopping centers
Overtaking countries like France, Germany and Italy, the UK had the highest number of shopping centers in 2017 Europe, factory outlets and retail parks included. The UK ranked at the top once again with the total floor space its shopping centers covered in 2017.
