History of Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre

The development of Hempstead Valley started in 1974 and was planned as a major district centre, of originally approx 250,000 square foot in size. In the early 1990's the Phase I extension was built which is home to 80,000 sq ft M&S, which was completely refurbished in 2007.

Hempstead Valley is Kent's first out of town shopping centre and is home to Kent's largest Sainsbury's (originally called Savacentre) and Medway's only M&S with a Food Hall and a range of over 50 retailers.  The original Picnic Parlour at Hempstead Valley was the UK's first Food Court and the centre was modelled on successful complexes in North America. It was originally planned to be an open air shopping centre but the concept was changed to a covered shopping complex. Savacentre at Hempstead Valley opened on 17th October 1978 and the centre celebrated its 30th birthday in 2008.
