The airy South Mall leading north is sheltered by a translucent roof and lined with a mix of shops. Leading off is the library and offices on three floors which was converted from a former departmental store. In the library, memorial boards to local people, from the old Town Hall can be viewed. The Market Square is a covered area (originally open to the elements) lit by clerestory windows. The market stalls today are permanent fixtures. The big, bustling no-frills market is popular with shoppers with a good range of goods, particularly - greengrocery.
The North Mall is treated differently, in the harder spirit of the late 1960s: a concrete coffered roof alternates with open light-wells, and ends in an open square, with two levels of shops and two stories of flats above; brutalistic, dark brick and shuttered concrete. The backdrop rising from the deck above North Mall is composed of huge slabs of system-built flats which the borough built so keenly at the time.[3]
It was redeveloped in 2008 with a new large ASDA supermarket, which replaced the previous leisure centre that was situated there.[2]
In 2018, Crosstree Real Estate purchased the centre for £72 million.[4]
As of 2018[update], Edmonton Green Shopping Centre has over 100 stores, including Sports Direct, Deichmann and Matalan.[4]
