Centrale is a shopping centre in Croydon, South London, one of the largest covered retail developments in London. It is owned and managed by Hammerson and was opened in 2004. Plans were announced in January 2013 to redevelop Centrale and combine it with the Whitgift Centre.

Centrale is located on North End, Croydon, facing the Whitgift Centre. It was developed from the existing but much smaller Drummond Centre. It now contains two large stores - House of Fraser and Debenhams - and around 50 smaller stores including Next, H&M, Zara, Budwals and Build-A-Bear Workshop.

Retail area

The 820,000 sq ft (76,200 m²) development also housed Croydon's first and only dedicated indoor food court on the upper level. The Food Gallery was given planning permission after the main centre was built and opened in November 2005 with seating for 200 diners. As of 2013, the Food Court has no tenants, the units being boarded up, however there is still pedestrian access to the first floor of Debenhams. Other food outlets in the centre include McDonald's (one of eleven in the London Borough of Croydon), Auntie Anne's and House of Fraser's World of Food which has international cuisine available from a number of concessions including Yo! Sushi. Recent reports suggest that the remaining un-let units in the centre will be opened to exclusive outlets opening their first London stores outside the West End. The centre also houses a Mecca Bingo establishment.

Centrale is a station on Line 2 and on Line 3 of the Milan Metro in Milan, Italy. The station was inaugurated in 1970, and it became an interchange with the new yellow line in 1990.

The station was the final stop of the green line until 1971, when the trains reached Porta Garibaldi, and of the yellow line until 1991, when Sondrio was opened.

The station is located just under the Milan Central Station. The station is underground with 2 tracks in a single tunnel both for Line 3 and Line 2, the green line being deeper than the yellow one. The station also serves the Pirelli Tower.
