Eldon Square (stylised as EldonSq.) is a shopping centre in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. It opened in 1976 on the site of Old Eldon Square, a famous part of Georgian Newcastle designed by John Dobson in 1824. The centre was initially the largest indoor shopping centre in the United Kingdom.
The shopping centre spans an area that was historically significant, including the Nunn's Garden and various wards named after the town's defensive towers. The redevelopment in the mid-1970s, which left only the eastern terrace of Old Eldon Square standing, has been criticized for its architectural impact.
Eldon Square has undergone several redevelopments over the years, including the addition of new malls and dining areas. Notable stores within the centre include John Lewis, Next, and the flagship Fenwick department store. The centre was called Intu Eldon Square from 2013 until 2020.
