Metrocentre, is a shopping centre and entertainment complex in Gateshead. It is located on the former site of Dunston Power Station, near to the River Tyne.
Metrocentre opened in stages, with the first phase opening on 28 April 1986, and the official opening being held on 14 October 1986. It has more than 370 shops occupying over 2,000,000 sq ft of retail floor space, making it the second-largest shopping centre in the UK, after London's Westfield. Additional retail space can be found in the adjoining Metro Retail Park and MetrOasis.
The centre was rebranded as intu Metrocentre in 2013, following the renaming of its parent Capital Shopping Centres Group as intu Properties.
