Surrey Quays Shopping Centre is a shopping centre located in Rotherhithe, London. It is currently owned by British Land. The centre opened in July 1988 following years of development by the London Docklands Development Corporation in the London Docklands and surrounding areas. The centre has over 40 stores including BHS and Tesco, 1,300 parking spaces and a food court. Improvements in the local transport links and rise in local housing developments in recent years have given local consumers easier access to the centre. British Land plan to redevelop the centre and the surrounding areas over the next few years, adding retail space, extensions and a number of new dwellings. ==History== The site on which the centre is built was originally a dock. However as the majority of Surrey Docks ship yards closed in the early 1970s, due to a general decline, the land was left abandoned and the docks filled in.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=LDDC Completion Booklet - Surrey Docks )〕 It was not until the London Docklands Development Corporation began to redevelop the area that the land found a new lease of life. See Surrey Commercial Docks Construction of the centre began in late 1985, and was completed in time for a July 1988 opening. At the same time new housing was being constructed in the surrounding area which ensured a steady influx of customers. At the time of opening, the area was originally known as Surrey Docks, however this was changed to Surrey Quays much to the anger of local residents. The area in still referred to as Surrey Docks by many of the local residents and the old name can still be seen on a few road signs in the area. In 1998 a leisure park was opened adjacent to the centre, facility's include an Odeon (UCI at the time) Cinema, Hollywood Bowl, and a number of restaurants. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Surrey Quays Shopping Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
