Brent Cross Cricklewood

The existing Brent Cross Shopping Centre

Brent Cross Cricklewood is a new town centre development under construction in Hendon and Cricklewood, London, United Kingdom. The development is planned to cost around £4.5 billion to construct and will include 6,700 homes, workspace for 25,000 people, four parks, transport improvements and a 592,000 sq ft (55,000 m2) extension of Brent Cross Shopping Centre.[1][2] The developers of the scheme are Hammerson and Standard Life.

Construction was planned to start in 2018 and be completed in 2021–22, but in March 2018 a delay was announced to January 2019.[3]

In July 2018 it was reported that the shopping centre would be delayed indefinitely.[4] In March 2019, the government granted over £300 million to Brent Council to deliver the new station and other infrastructure necessary for the development.[5] In November 2019, the developers and the council agreed a new timetable in which the shopping centre expansion would come later in the development.[6] Construction began in 2020, with the first residential buildings planned to complete in 2024.[7]
