Lewisham Shopping Centre, formerly Riverdale Centre, is a shopping mall located in Lewisham, London, England. Since the Docklands Light Railway extension reached Lewisham the centre experienced an increase in customers. The centre is the major shopping centre in the borough of Lewisham. Also part of the complex is the Lewisham House office tower, formerly occupied by Citibank. There are proposals to convert this building to flats.
The centre is located in Lewisham town centre. The official address is on Molesworth Street (a dual carriageway section of the A21). The car park is located on top of the centre and is multi-storey. Facilities at the centre include public toilets with baby changing, photobooths and ATMs.
