Update : as of January 2021 this shopping centre was renamed Derbion.
Intu purchased the shopping centre in 2014 from Westfield.
On October 9th 2007 Westfield Derby opened. This is my video of the new centre using photographs and video I took on the opening day, apart from the nighttime photo at 02:28 which I took at night!
On its opening day, the centre attracted 150,000 shoppers.
As of 7th November 2007 More than 2.5 million shoppers have flocked to the Westfield centre since it opened. This is more than double the 1.2 million people who passed through the doors of the Eagle Centre in the same four weeks in 2006.
The £340m development houses more than 150 shopping units.
It has 105,800 sq metres of floor space. The development includes a 2,000-space multi-storey car park on the roof.
It also has an 800-seater food court.
On the very top of the shopping centre is the £30m, 12-screen Showcase Cinema de Lux, The UK's first Cinema de Lux which opened Friday 16 May 2008. For more info...

For ex-pats that have not been back to Derby for a few years you are probably wondering where is this place?, Well do you remember the old Main Centre, its on top of that area and streaches all the way down Traffic Street and a long way around London Road as well.
