The Centre is the name of a shopping centre in Livingston, Scotland. It includes a completely new mall, which opened in October 2008, as well as the former Almondvale Shopping Centre and the McArthur Glen Designer Outlet. It is situated in the heart of the town and offers 35 000 square metres of retail space.
The Centre contains two anchor stores - Marks & Spencer and Debenhams - as well as many other smaller retail units, and the new mall - named Elements Square - has a transparent ETFE roof covering its four shopping avenues. There is also an internal civic space known as the Wintergarden.
Elements Square is a unique development which provides a feeling of being outdoors whilst protecting its occupants from the vagaries of the weather. Its wide-open avenues and high roof bring a totally new feeling to shopping in Livingston.
The Centre is like a small town, divided into five different zones: Elements Square, Wintergarden, The Avenue, Almondvale Walk and Almondvale Place.
The Centre is situated just off the M8, between Edinburgh and Glasgow.
