- References
The name "The Glades" was chosen following a competition where Bromley residents were asked for suggestions. "The Glades" was chosen reflecting the history of Bromley as a wooded area. The centre was rebranded as Intu Bromley in the summer of 2013 following the renaming of parent Capital Shopping Centres Group plc as Intu Properties plc. Following intu Properties' sale of the centre, the intu branding and name was withdrawn from the centre, bringing back its original name.
Stores
Major stores within the centre include Marks & Spencer (also opening onto Bromley High Street), Debenhams, Boots, Waterstones, Zara, H&M, French Connection, Game, Disney Store, New Look, Superdrug and Apple Store . In all, there are 135 stores within The Glades.
The Glades also includes Regent Arcade, a parade of small boutique shops which runs from Elmfield Road near the street entrance to Debenhams and links in to the lower mall beneath Waterstones.
Extension at main entrance
Building began in Autumn 2006 on a £25 million extension close to the main entrance of the centre. The development involved the demolition of two buildings on the high street and several existing units within The Glades.
River Island (unit 85/86) mezzanine extension
In 2009 the mezzanine floor which was only staff and stock rooms above unit 86 was extended into empty space above unit 85. The menswear was moved to the mezzanine. The staff room was moved to the ground floor.
The Restaurant Terrace
Work was completed in July 2016 on a new extension to the centre to house 5 new restaurants including Wagamamas, Byron Hamburgers, Giraffe and Ed's Easy Diner.
Regent Arcade, Mezzanine (Waterstones) to restaurants and Cinema on car park level 2
There are currently plans to remove the Regents Arcade and Waterstones to make way for new units and the building of a small cinema on Car Park Level 2.
