Ealing Broadway shopping centre is up for sale.

According to the trade publication Property Week, owners Legal & General are looking for offers around £150m.

The centre was opened in 1985 and represented a major victory for local residents who managed to resist plans to build a 1970s brutalist, all-concrete development similar to those in Croydon and Elephant & Castle.

The development comes at a transitional time for Ealing town centre retail, with Arcadia centre owner Glenkerrin in administration and thousands of additional square feet of retail under construction at Dickens Yard.

Prior the building of the Ealing Broadway Centre, the site was occupied mainly by houses – Billy Bunter author Frank Richards was a resident – and a few shops, including one for Marshall Amplification in the early days of its expansion from nearby Hanwell to worldwide renown.
