This was the first covered shopping mall in Europe, with 120 shops on three levels and a two-storey underground car-park. Designed by Boissevain & Osmond and opened in March 1965, it represented an entirely new approach to retailing, setting standards for the sixties that would revolutionise shopping concepts throughout Britain.

The centre has now been demolished to make way for a new development which is part a £4 billion regeneration programme scheme by Southwark Council.

Limited third edition print run of 20
