The Exchange, Ilford

The Exchange Ilford is the main retail shopping mall in the town centre of Ilford, London. It was owned by The Mall Fund for a period of time but has now been sold and reverted to its original name of The Exchange Mall. It trades from three levels of retail, though its architectural design layout has resulted in the lower floor of retail being separated into two parts, meaning customers wishing to access both parts of the lower level have to travel between the sections via the middle level. There is also an upper level of retail and food court facilities accessed from the middle level. Transit between levels is via a series of lifts, stairs and escalators within the Mall; in addition, some stores trade from two or more levels of the mall. The Exchange's anchor stores are Debenhams (formerly Allders), Marks & Spencer, TK Maxx and Wilko (the latter of which occupies a former Woolworths store). A new Primark store has opened adjacent to the Exchange. Other major stores within The Mall Ilford include WH Smith, New Look, Sports Direct, Clinton Cards, Burger King, Ryman, Poundland, Peacocks, 99p Stores, The Body Shop, Thorntons and GAME. More stores are located just outside the Exchange, including an Argos, Waterstones and the recently opened Primark.
